Flow Visualization near the Solid-Liquid Interface

Liquid-solid interface inertia

Ester formation at the liquid–solid interface

A chemical reaction (esterification) within a molecular monolayer at the liquid-solid interface without any catalyst was studied using ambient scanning tunneling microscopy. The monolayer consisted of a regular array of two species, an organic acid (trimesic acid) and an alcohol (undecan-1-ol or decan-1-ol), coadsorbed out of a solution of the acid within the alcohol at the interface of highly ...

Chemical Identification at the Solid-Liquid Interface.

Solid-liquid interfaces are decisive for a wide range of natural and technological processes, including fields as diverse as geochemistry and environmental science as well as catalysis and corrosion protection. Dynamic atomic force microscopy nowadays provides unparalleled structural insights into solid-liquid interfaces, including the solvation structure above the surface. In contrast, chemica...

Graphene oxide hydrogel at solid/liquid interface.

A strong solid/liquid interfacial interaction is found between porous alumina and graphene oxide (GO) aqueous dispersion, which promotes a fast enrichment of GO on the alumina surface and results in the formation of a GO hydrogel.

Rheology of Polymers Near Liquid-Solid Transitions

Polymeric materials near the liquid-solid transition (LST) exhibit a very distinct relaxation pattern. The reference point for analyzing these patterns is the instant of LST at which relaxation becomes self-similar over wide ranges of the relaxation time. The universality of this transition and its consequences have been explored extensively during the past decade. This study will present an ov...
