The effect of pre-wetting on dynamic contact angles

A roll-coating experimental system is used to study the effect of pre-wetting on dynamic contact angles, the interfacial displacement depth, and the associated phenomenon of air entrainment. The system consists of a roll, which is horizontally rotating in a liquid pool. The dynamic contact angle is recorded by a macrophotography system. The test liquids are glycerol solutions with viscosities in the range 104 < μ < 748 mPa · s. The value of (μV/ρg)^0.5 is taken as the characteristic length to be used in the dimensionless relationships which correlate experimental measurements. The effect of base layer entry angle into the liquid pool on the dynamic contact angles and other flow parameters is studied. Comparison is made with measurements in dry tape-coating and other pre-wet roll–coating systems.     

Adhesive Contact of a Membrane with a Hemispherical Indenter: Theoretical Analysis and Model Liquid System

The axisymmetric Laplace equation is solved numerically to extract contact-angle data for a flat liquid/vapor interface contacting a submerged hemispherical solid. The liquid/vapor interface is treated as a membrane, with a membrane tension equal to the surface energy of the liquid. By measuring the vertical displacement of the membrane and the projected contact area the membrane makes with the hemisphere, the contact angle and correspondingly the driving force for motion of the contact line can be measured. We show that characteristic receding and advancing contact angles can be obtained by measuring the contact radii formed upon initial contact between the interface and hemisphere and final contact just prior to detachment of the interface, respectively. Use of the technique is illustrated with a model experiment involving the contact of an air/water interface with a poly(methyl methacrylate) surface.     

Analyses and Solutions of Specific Cases in Spatial Angles Calculation

1 Introduction “Spatial Angles Calculations” means that all the calculations of given and unknown parameters are related to calculating angles in 3D space. The functions and relevant parameters in 3D space are much more complicated than that in 2D space, i.e. on a plane. Professor Sun, based on his research conducting for more than a decade, presented a series of new algorithms to calculate angles in space which are valuable in both theory and applications[1]. The authors found that, in g…

A three-dimensional measurement system for robot applications

This paper presents a 3D noncontacting sensor system designed to measure the position and orientation of a robot end effector. This measurement system includes two parts: a tridimensional object including four spheres placed along the axes of a tetrahedron and a set of three orthogonally pointed cameras. The purpose is to design a measurement system characterized by easy relationships in order to satisfy real-time constraints. The system has been used in two experiments: first, to calibrate a parallel robot and validate the geometrical control performance, then as an exteroceptive sensor in an assembly task. The system computes position and orientation of the tetrahedron in 100 ms time. The position and orientation accuracy are, respectively, 0.6 mm and 0.2 deg in a workspace, being a cube with 0.3 m sides.     

Influence of the pH of Water on its Electron-Accepticity and Donicity

By means of contact angle measurements on dry layers of electrostatically neutral dextran with pure water (pH 6.1), water acidified with HCl (to pH 1.94) and water made alkaline with NaOH (to pH 12.8), it could be shown that there was essentially no change as a function of pH in the ratio of γ⁺/γ^- of water as compared with the aqueous acid and alkaline solutions. (Here γ⁺ is the Lewis acid parameter of the polar surface tension component of water and γ^- is its Lewis base parameter). In contrast, with contact angles measured with the same liquids on negatively charged clean glass, a significant decrease in contact angle was observed with water at pH 12.8, which was caused by the fact that at this alkaline pH an increase in surface hydrophilicity took place. This is because surfaces that have a given surface electrical potential at neutral pH generally acquire an even higher surface potential under more alkaline conditions which, concomitantly, also gives rise to an increase in surface hydrophilicity, and thus to lower contact angles with water. Finally, contact angles with acid water, pure water, and alkaline water, deposited on hydrophobic Parafilm surfaces, were exactly the same.     

Effect of surface free energy of ceramic glaze on oil droplet shape and its behavior in water

A super-hydrophilic functional ceramic was prepared by adjusting the chemical components of ceramic glaze. Effect of surface flee energy of ceramic glaze on oil droplet shape and its behavior in water were studied. The results show that water can spread on ceramic surface with high surface free energy, and oil droplet can aggregate rapidly and separate from the ceramic surface in water. For the ceramic with lower surface free energy, the polar shares are dependant on its easy-cleaning property. The higher the polar shares, the better the easy-cleaning property, and the easier the droplet separates from the ceramic surface in water.

Computing upper and lower bounds of rotation angles from digital images

Rotations in the discrete plane are important for many applications such as image matching or construction of mosaic images. We suppose that a digital image A is transformed to another digital image B by a rotation. In the discrete plane, there are many angles giving the rotation from A to B, which we call admissible rotation angles from A to B. For such a set of admissible rotation angles, there exist two angles that achieve the lower and the upper bounds. To find those lower and upper bounds, we use hinge angles as used in Nouvel and Rémila [Incremental and transitive discrete rotations, in: R. Reulke, U. Eckardt, B. Flash, U. Knauer, K. Polthier (Eds.), Combinatorial Image Analysis, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 4040, Springer, Berlin, 2006, pp. 199-213]. A sequence of hinge angles is a set of particular angles determined by a digital image in the sense that any angle between two consecutive hinge angles gives the identical rotation of the digital image. We propose a method for obtaining the lower and the upper bounds of admissible rotation angles using hinge angles from a given Euclidean angle or from a pair of corresponding digital images.
