Water Adhesion to Methylated Glass
Measurements of the spreading and capillary forces for liquids deposited on solid surfaces of varying surface chemistry and topography are a prerequisite to better understanding and quantification of the wetting mechanisms. In this study, glass slide surfaces were modified with … Continue reading
Stable Zn Alloys for Stenting
Zn-based alloys have been recognized as highly promising bioabsorbable materials for cardiovascular stents, due to their biocompatibility and, more importantly, favorable corrosion rates as compared to Mg alloys. However, both low tensile strength and intrinsic mechanical instability arisen from strong … Continue reading
Historical Paper on Contact Angles
An international team of experts in the field of wetting led by Dr. Drelich published a one-of-a-kind contribution on the history of contact angles, their meaning, and use in polymer surface energy estimation. The title of the paper is Contact … Continue reading
SI Volume 8 Issue 1-2
We would like to share with you the content of the first issue of 2020, 8(1-2), of Surface Innovations. This is one of the most impressive issues that we published in seven years. We offer historical review contribution on contact … Continue reading
Zn-Mg-Cu/Mn Paper
Morteza has published his first first-author paper entitled “The effects of alloying with Cu and Mn and thermal treatments on the mechanical instability of Zn-0.05Mg alloy” in the Materials Science and Engineering A journal. The following is the abstract: The … Continue reading
Reverse Flotation
Our collaborators from Northeastern University in Shenyang published a new paper on Reverse Flotation of Hematite from Quartz with Magnetic Seeding Aggregation in the Minerals Engineering journal. In this work, fine magnetite was used as a magnetic seed to enhance … Continue reading
Journal Impact Factor
We are glad to report that the journal impact factor (IF) for Surface Innovations rose to 2.333 from 1.268 in 2018. This is the third year in a row when the journal climbs in ranking. The journal is listed under … Continue reading
Surface Effect on Biocompatibility
Our new paper entitled In Vitro Corrosion and in Vivo Response to Zinc Implants with Electropolished and Anodized Surfaces has been published in the ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces journal. Roger Guillory, PhD candidate, and Prof. Jeremy Goldman from Biomedical … Continue reading
History of Contact Angles
The first and only one review on history of contact angles was prepared by a team of international experts led by Prof. Drelich. The contact angle is one of the most sensitive experimental values describing a junction between three phases, … Continue reading
Correcting Contact Angles
A new review on contact angles from SURFI team has been published in the Advances in Colloid and Interface Science journal, entitled Contact Angles: From Past Mistakes to New Developments through Liquid-Solid Adhesion Measurements. A contact angle observed for a … Continue reading
