Controlling the bubble size is a major concern in enhancing transport performance in gas-liquid systems. The role of wettability of diffuser surface on bubble size is the subject of the current work. The study inspects the contact angle of a set of liquids on HP ceramic diffusers using the Washburn method. The results demonstrate that organic liquids like toluene, methanol–water (1:1 v/v), ethanol– water (1:1 v/v) and decane have small contact angles of 12.9, 37.5, 24.4 and 22.5 respectively. Water has a lower wettability than the organic compounds where the contact angle was about 67.4. The effect of wettability of the bubble size is investigated by measuring the size of air bubble produced using the same diffuser material. The results of bubble size measurement demonstrates that with liquids of small contact angle, i.e. good wetting properties, small bubble sizes are produced in comparison with liquids with a higher contact angle. The study demonstrates the viability of Washburn method in characterization of wettability of porous diffuser, which was verified by measuring the bubble size produced. A high reduction in bubble size can be obtained by a carefully chosen diffuser material that provides better wettability.

Laser surface modification of titanium alloys is one of the main methods of improving the properties of titanium alloys used in implantology. This study investigates the microstructural morphology of a laser-modified surface layer on a Ti13Nb13Zr alloy with and without a carbon nanotube coating deposited by electrophoretic deposition. Laser modification was performed for samples with and without carbon nanotube coating for two different laser powers of 800 W and 900 W and for different scan rates: 3 mm/s or 6 mm/s at 25 Hz, and the pulse duration was 2.25 ms or 3.25 ms. A scanning electron microscope SEM was used to evaluate the surface structure of the modified samples. To observe the heat-affected zones of the individual samples, metallographic samples were taken and observed under an optical microscope. Surface wettability tests were performed using a goniometer. A surface roughness test using a profilograph and a nanoindentation test by NanoTest™ Vantage was also performed. Observations of the microstructure allowed to state that for higher laser powers the surfaces of the samples are more homogeneous without defects, while for lower laser powers the path of the laser beam is clearer and more regular. Examination of the microstructure of the cross-sections indicated that the samples on which the carbon nanotube coating was deposited are characterized by a wider heat affected zone, and for the samples modified at 800 W and a feed rate of 3 mm/s the widest heat affected zone is observed. The wettability tests revealed that all the samples exhibit hydrophilic surfaces and the samples with deposited carbon nanotube coating increase it further. Surface roughness testing showed a significant increase in Ra for the laser-modified samples, and the presence of carbon nanotubes further increased this value. Nanoindentation studies showed that the laser modification and the presence of carbon coating improved the mechanical properties of the samples due to their strength.

83--94 In this paper we discuss the geometrical method for calculating the curvature of a class of curves from the third Book of Isaac Newton’s Principia. The method involves any curve which is generated from an elementary curve (actually from any curve whose curvature we known of) by means of transformation increasing the polar angular coordinate in a constant ratio, but unchanging the polar radial angular coordinate.

This paper presents a method of liquid-solid contact (wetting) angle measurement for selected textile surfaces, assuming the angles to be less than 90°. The method uses a special apparatus for acquisition of sessile drop images. Specialised image processing methods involving edge filtering, image morphology and a prior knowledge of the drop boundary location are used to extract droplet edges and the bottom line of a solid textile surface. Then ADSA profile optimisation is applied to find the liquid contact angle with respect to the bottom line. The ADSA trajectory is fitted to the drop edge data using a trust – region, nonlinear optimisation algorithm, with a proposed definition of distance error measurement. The image processing and analysis methods mentioned above are implemented in a MATLAB 7.0 environment; the results of individual measurements are shown in MATLAB windows as well.

W pracy przedstawiono metodę pomiaru kąta zwilżania na granicy ciecz - ciało stałe dla wybranych powierzchni tekstylnych, przy założeniu występowania kątów mniejszych niż 90°. Metoda ta wykorzystuje specjalistyczną aparaturę do akwizycji obrazów spoczywających kropli. W celu wyodrębnienia krawędzi kropli i linii podłoża tkaniny wykorzystano wybrane metody przetwarzania obrazu, takie jak filtracja krawędzi, procedury morfologiczne oraz informację a’priori o położeniu krawędzi kropli. W celu wyznaczenia kąta kontaktu cieczy z linią podłoża zoptymalizowano profil kropli dla modelu ADSA. Trajektorię ADSA dopasowano do danych krawędzi kropli przy wykorzystaniu nieliniowej optymalizacji „trust-region” i przyjęciu zaproponowanej miary błędu odległości od poszukiwanego minimum. Metody przetwarzania i analizy obrazu kropli zostały zaimplementowane w środowisku MATLAB 7.0; wyniki poszczególnych pomiarów są także zaprezentowane w „okienkach” MATLAB’a.

Rubbingowanie zwiększa wartości energii powierzchniowej warstw poliimidowych. Obserwowano wzrost składnika Lifshitz-Van der Waalsa swobodnej energii powierzchniowej dla wszystkich badanych poliimidów. Rubbingowane warstwy poliimidowe otrzymane z 6FDA i PMDA wykazywały spadek składowych polarnych swobodnej energii powierzchniowej, podczas gdy warstwy otrzymane z ODPA wzrost tych składowych.

We found that the rubbing process increase the surface free energy of all polyimide films. The increase of Lifshitz-Van der Waals parts of surface free energy was also observed for all tested polyimides. Rubbing of the polyimide films prepared from 6FDA and PMDA caused the decrease of surface free energy acidic-basic components, whereas for the films prepared from ODPA the increase of these components was observed. It was found that the decrease of surface free energy and its polar component were most pronounced with the progress of imidization.
