Understanding of dynamic contacting behaviors of underwater gas bubbles on solid surfaces

Understanding of dynamic behaviors of gas bubbles on solid surfaces has significant impacts on gas-involving electrochemical reactions, mineral flotation and so on in industry. Contact angle (θ) is widely employed to characterize the wetting behaviors of bubbles on solid surfaces; however, it usuall...

Understanding of dynamic contacting behaviors of underwater gas bubbles on solid surfaces
description Understanding of dynamic behaviors of gas bubbles on solid surfaces has significant impacts on gas-involving electrochemical reactions, mineral flotation and so on in industry.
