• Heterocoagulation of shale particles and bubbles in the presence of ionic surfactants 

      Polowczyk, Izabela; Kruszelnicki, Mateusz; Kowalczuk, Przemyslaw (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Adsorption of surfactants is one of the important feature governing interactions between particulate matters. When interactions occur between two particulates, which differ from each other, heterocoagulation takes place. ...
    • Microgel Evolution at Three-Phase Contact Region and Associated Wettability Alteration 

      Gong, Yi; Wang, Mao; Zhang, Zhiliang; He, Jianying (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Wettability alteration induced by nanoparticle and polymer have a broad application range in the industry and attracts a growing attention. Microgel as a special material with polymer/colloid duality is a potential candidate ...
    • Stiffening surface lowers ice adhesion strength by stress concentration sites 

      Jiang, Xue; Yanwen, Lin; Xuan, Xiaowen; Zhuo, Yizhi; Wu, Jianyang; He, Jianying; Du, Xin; Zhang, Zhiliang; Li, Tong (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Mechanically softening materials have been intensively investigated to reduce ice adhesion strength based on the adhesion failure mechanism. Achieving icephobic surfaces with both low ice adhesion strength and mechanical ...
