Polydimethylsiloxane-silane synergy enables dropwise condensation of low surface tension liquids
Published 2022“…Despite decades of research on promoting the dropwise condensation of steam, achieving dropwise condensation of low surface tension liquids remains a challenge. The few coatings reported to promote dropwise condensation of low surface tension liquids either require complex fabrication methods, are substrate dependent or have poor scalability. …”

Reciprocating thermocapillary plug motion in an externally heated capillary
Published 2012“…The model considers the coupling effect between heat transfer in the capillary wall and the surface tension driven movement of the plug. Because surface tension depends on temperature, the transient temperature distribution determines the surface tension difference across a plug and thus its movement. …”

Comparative study on the enhancement of spray cooling heat transfer using conventional and bio-surfactants
Published 2022“…Meanwhile, in the nucleate boiling, spray cooling heat transfer is substantially enhanced using any of the three tested surfactants due to the decrease in surface tension and enhanced wettability. At the same concentration, the two biosurfactants lead to higher heat transfer than Tween 20 due to their lower surface tension as compared to Tween 20. …”
