Surface tension

View this topic in
Surface tension is a property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. It is revealed, for example, in floating of some objects on the surface of water, even though they are denser than water, and in the ability of some insects and even reptiles to run on the water surface. This property is caused by cohesion of like molecules, and is responsible for many of the behaviors of liquids. (Wikipedia.org)

  • Embedded control system design for "novel micro-fluidic sensor" for the measurement of dynamic liquid interfacial tension

    Ahmed, S.F.; Azim, C.F. Computer Communication Control and Automation (3CA), 2010 International Symposium on, 2010

    This paper is based on a project which was carried out to develop a novel micro-fluidic sensor for the measurement of dynamic liquid interfacial tension. Determination of the dynamic surface tension of an aqueous solution is an important parameter in many biological applications. This dynamic surface tension depends on the surfactant concentration of the solution under measurement. The surface tension ...

  • Effect of UV/ozone treatment on surface tension and adhesion in electronic packaging

    Shijian Luo; Wong, C.P. Components and Packaging Technologies, IEEE Transactions on, 2001

    Surface tension of material surfaces and interfaces is an important parameter that affects wetting and adhesion. Surface tension can be divided into three components: Lifshitz-van der Waals component, acid component, and base component. In this study, the three-liquid-probe method was used to investigate the surface tension and its three components of various surfaces of electronic packaging materials: benzocyclobutene (BCB) passivation, ...

  • Investigation on surface wettability and surface structure of PTFE after remote oxygen plasma treatment

    Summary form only given. In this paper, the surface wettability and surface structure of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) treated with remote oxygen plasma are studied. The contact angles of the samples are measured and the critical surface tensions (gamma<sub>c</sub>) are determined on the basis of the Zisman's plots. Then the variation of contact angle to water (thetas<sub>H2O</sub>) and the gamma<sub>c</sub> are as ...

  • Droplet movement on a vertical gradient surface

    This research studies the improvement of droplet movement on a vertical surface. Silicon substrates fabricated with different surface tension gradients are used to enhance heat transfer efficiency in a vapor condensing system. Experimental results find that the heat transfer efficiency of gradient surface with strip width C=1 mm can be 10% higher than a hydrophilic surface. The mechanism for the ...

    Sato, M.; Kudo, N.; Saito, M. Industry Applications Conference, 1996. Thirty-First IAS Annual Meeting, IAS '96., Conference Record of the 1996 IEEE, 1996

    It has been discussed in previous papers that the surface tension of some liquids decreases during voltage application, and that this could be the main mechanism for dispersion of the liquid. However, no experimental results have been reported except for a few papers. In the present study, the vibrating jet method was employed because this is the only method available ...
