Speakers: Lars Wågberg and Tobias Benselfelt from Fiber and Polymer Technology and WWSC. Using the widely spread DLVO theory for systems of interacting charged particles as starting point, they discuss what happens when the relevant length scales approaches the nanometer range, or when the basic assumptions of the DLVO theory are no longer valid.

Speaker: Yasuyuki Takata from Kyushu University Abstract Wettability effect is one of the key parameters that influences boiling characteristics. The present study reveals the role of hydrophobicity in relation to the effect of dissolved air in liquid water. The hydrophobicity works as an excellent nucleation site and, therefore, by making use of biphilic surface the Read more about Seminar: Role of hydrophobicity and dissolved air on onset of nucleate boiling[…]

Study visit to Alfa Laval in Tumba. The event is open for all Interface students, as well as other interested.
We are organising a brainstorming session on for all the PIs and Co-PIs of INTERFACE. As you know, we are half way through the interface project but many student projects have either just started or have only recently gained momentum. Therefore we think that it is good time to meet and see if we can Read more about Interface PI meeting[…]
