Impact of roughness on hydrophobicity of particles measured by the Washburn method
PublicationZwilżalność powierzchni jest ważną własnością w wielu aplikacjach, włączając flotację i wymywanie. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że szorstkość powierzchni ma znaczący wpływ na kinetykę penetracji cieczy przez cząstki, natomiast nie ma wpływu na wartości kątów zwilżania. Wyniki wskazują na fakt, że hydrofobowość w przypadku flotacji w przeciwieństwie do kinetyki flotacji nie powinna mieć związku z szorstkościa powierzchni.
