Influence of Micron Roughness on Droplet Adhesion and Detachment Behavior with Coal Surfaces by Siheng Hou, Peng Xiong, Xianshu Dong, Hengfei Chen, Shuhuan Li, Yujin Sun

“…A highly sensitive adhesion force measuring instrument was employed to study the continuous attachment and detachment processes between droplets and coal surfaces of different roughness levels. Contact angle results indicated that as the roughness of the coal sample surface increased, the contact angle gradually decreased, suggesting an increase in the hydrophilicity of the coal surface. …”

Cetyl pyridinium chloride-amino acid-based ionic liquids: Synthesis, characterization, and physicochemical properties by FT-IR, UV–visible, density, conductivity, viscosity, surfac... by Rohit Kumar Dev, Shiv Narayan Yadav, Pawan Shah, Nisha Magar, Srijana Ghimire, Mahima Koirala, Ashok Kumar Das, Sujit Kumar Shah, Ramesh L. Gardas, Ajaya Bhattarai

“…The ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining much attention because of their many special properties, including highly solvating, tunable, non-flammable, and reusable extractants. In the current study, a novel set of room-temperature ILs based on the active compound Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride - Amino Acid ([CetPyl] [AA]) where ionic liquids have been successfully synthesized and characterized by both spectral (FT-IR and UV-visible), and physiochemical (density, surface tension, contact angle, molar free energy, conductivity, viscosity, and pH) properties. …”
