纳米通道粗糙内壁对流体流动行为的影响

纳米流动系统具有高效、经济等优势,在众多领域具有广泛的应用前景.因该类系统具有极高的表面积体积比,致使界面滑移效应对流动具有显著影响.本文采用分子动力学方法以两无限大平行非对称壁面组成的Poiseuille流动为对象,分析了壁面粗糙度与润湿性变化对通道内流体流动的影响.对于不同结构类型的壁面,需要通过水动力位置来确定固液界面位置,准确计算固液界面位置有助于更好地分析界面滑移效应.研究结果表明,上下壁面不对称会引起通道内流场参数分布的不对称,壁面粗糙度及润湿性的变化会影响近壁面附近流体原子的流动特性,由于壁面凹槽的存在,粗糙壁面附近的数密度分布低于光滑壁面一侧.壁面粗糙度及润湿性的变化会影响固液界面位置,肋高变化及壁面润湿性对通道中速度分布影响较大,界面滑移速度及滑移长度随肋高和润湿性的增大而减小;肋间距变化对通道内流体流动影响较小,界面滑移速度和滑移长度基本保持恒定.     

New insights into the mechanism of wettability alteration during low salinity water flooding in carbonate rocks

There is not a consistent view about the mechanism of wettability alteration during low salinity water flooding. This paper highlights extensive wettability studies to investigate the wettability alteration on mineralogically different carbonates. Contact angle measurements were conducted to characterize wettability changes quantitatively. The results clearly revealed that wettability of carbonate rock surfaces can be altered to a more water-wet condition by lowering water salinity. The trend of the maximum change of contact angle (MCCA) variation with dolomite/calcite content in the rock is fairly linear under the same salinity, which demonstrates that carbonate minerals can affect rock wettability in a way. Also, the higher calcite content in the rock, the greater MCCA, i.e. the stronger effect of LSWF. Besides, the sensitivity of rock wettability to minerals is different under different salinity conditions. When the salinity is in the range of 2384.6?～?4769.2?mg/L, rock wettability is most sensitive to minerals. The analysis of the effect of ion composition showed that the effect of Ca²⁺ on wettability alteration is greater than that of Mg²⁺ at room temperature, and with the increase of the content of calcite in the rock, the effect of Ca²⁺ is more pronounced than that of Mg²⁺.     

选择性油水分离材料

水是人类赖以生存的基础,其重要性不言而喻。但是,当前水环境日益恶化,水污染日益加重,尤其是石油泄漏和有机污染物肆意排放给环境和生态系统造成了不可挽回的损害。因此,高效油水分离已成为亟待解决的问题。当前主要通过物理吸附、化学分散以及生物降解等方法进行油污清理;化学分散和生物降解法易对海洋环境造成二次污染,而物理吸附具有易于回收及无污染等优点。本文综述了近年来物理过滤和物理吸附油水分离材料的研究现状及尚待解决的难点,同时也展望了该领域未来研究的热点及发展方向。

Acid-Containing Tyrosine-Derived Polycarbonates: Wettability and Surface Reactivity

Tyrosine-derived polycarbonates having carboxylic acid pendant groups were characterized by water contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A pronounce decrease of receding angle as well as contact angle hysteresis as a function of acid composition strongly indicated that the acid groups are more accessible at the water/polymer interface after hydration. pH dependent contact angle confirmed an existence of carboxylic acid groups in the surface region. The receding angle transition appearing in the pH range of 4-6 was a consequence of hydrophilicity change due to interconverting from carboxylic acid (-COOH) to carboxylate ion (-COO⁻). The surface compositions of imidazole-labeled polymers as analyzed by XPS were consistent with the bulk stoichiometry of the polymers. Reactivity of acid groups towards chemical reaction at the surface was also investigated. The acid groups at the surface of polymers were capable of adsorbing a significant amount of calcium ion from simulated body fluid and being activated by a reaction with N-hydroxysuccinimide.     

Synthesis and photochemical surface fixation of hydroxylated cascade molecules

A novel supramolecularly assembled surface architectural method was developed, which involved a self-assembling process of amphiphilic molecules and a subsequent photochemical process. The specially designed molecules were cascade “tree” molecules composed of a phenylazido group as root, an aliphatic hydrocarbon chain as stem, and two or three tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane groups as leaves. Using a horizontal lifting method, unimolecular assemblies which formed at an air/water interface were transferred to polyethylene (PE) surfaces. Upon ultraviolet irradiation, these molecules were covalently fixed on the surfaces due to the photochemical reactivity of the phenylazido group. Treated surfaces became wettable with water, indicating that hydrophilic hemispheres were located at the outer surface region of the PE surfaces. Bimolecular assemblies composed of cascade molecules and noncascade molecules with a hydroxyl group at a terminus exhibited lower advancing and receding contact angles and reduced hysteresis than those of unimolecular ones, indicating that these bimolecular assemblies have a well-structured molecular organization with a high degree of packing. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

The synthesis of trimeric comb-type nonionic surfactants and their application in microemulsion flushing fluid

In order to effectively remove the oil-based drilling that remains on the wall of a well and improve the quality of well cementation, flushing fluid must be used to clean it. Due to its excellent flushing effect, microemulsion flushing fluid has been a hot area of research in recent years; the application, however, is limited because of its poor resistance to temperature. In this paper, for the purpose of enhancing the temperature resistance of microemulsion flushing fluid, a new type of comb-shaped trimeric nonionic surfactants N,N-bis(2-stearamidoethyl) stearamide was synthesized, and an anionic–nonionic surfactants composite oil-in-water microemulsion flushing fluid (ANC-MEFF in short) to flush the oil-based drilling was formed. Studies have shown that it has a good flushing effect on oil-based drilling between 20 and 160°C, and its flushing efficiency can reach 93% or even higher. Compared with the CW210L organic phosphorus flushing fluid (Number 1 in short), the flushing efficiency increased by about 20?~?40%, while the microemulsion flushing fluid formed by OP-10 (Number 2 in short) increased by 30% in high temperature, with the application temperature ranging from 20?~?60 to 20?~?160°C, respectively. Additionally, it was found that the microemulsion flushing fluid can make the borehole wall and casing wall change from “oil-wet” into “water-wet”, which is conducive to promoting the quality of cementation between the first and second interfaces intuitively.     

Stable ZnO/ionic liquid hybrid materials: novel dual-responsive superhydrophobic layers to light and anions

Novel dual-responsive superhydrophobic hybrid materials,ZnO/SAMs(self-assembled monolayers)of ionic liquids(ILs)with different counter-anions(I-,BF4-,PF6-and Tf2N-),were synthesized and characterized.ZnO nanoparticles were first deposited on glass surfaces to produce roughness.Next,SAMs of fluorinated-alkyl-3-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-4,5-dihydro-imidazoliumiodide(abb.[C8Ftespim]I)were grafted onto these surfaces via-Si-O-covalent bonds using self-assembly technique.The Iion could be subsequently exchanged with BF4-,PF6-or Tf2N-through a simple aqueous anion-exchange reaction.The ZnO/ILs hybrid layers were characterized by atomic-force microscopy(AFM),scanning-electron microscopy(SEM)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).Their wettability was estimated through the measurements of static and dynamic contact angles(CAs).Compared to corresponding films of ZnO/[C8Ftespim]I with CAs 140.7°±2.0°,films of ZnO/[C8Ftespim]PF6 and ZnO/[C8Ftespim]Tf2N showed CAs with 154.0°±2.0°and 152.0°±2.0°,respectively that remained for a long time.This result suggests that anion-exchange can afford superhydrophobic materials.In addition,the wettability of ZnO/[C8Ftespim]X hybrid layers can be reversibly switched by altering ultraviolet(UV)irradiation and dark storage,which shows a photo-induced reversible switch of wettability.The synergistic action of ZnO nanoparticles and SAMs of ILs produced light-anion dual-responsive superhydrophobic materials with ideal stability.     

Investigations on the Stability of Plasma Modified Silicone Surfaces

In this work it was investigated the effect of the exposure to different plasmas on the wettability of silicone samples. We have observed that oxygen. argon, and hydrogen glow discharges are quite effective in reducing the water contact angle of such polymer. However, indifferently to efficiency of the treatment, practically all the modified surfaces recovered great part of their original hydrophobicity. We have investigated this hydrophobic recovery using surface energy measurements and theoretical simulations based on the exponential decay of the population of polar groups on the surface. According to our results such recovery can be attributed to the decrease of polar species at the interface water–polymer surface.     

The Surface Modification of Pure Cellulose Paper Induced by Low-Pressure Nitrogen Plasma Treatment

We have used Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) in combination with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to study chemical changes taking place at the surface of pure cellulose paper samples treated in N₂ plasma for periods of time up to 60 seconds. High resolution TOF-SIMS spectra permit the detection of various functionalities containing nitrogen, even following very brief (2s) plasma exposure. Correlations between chemistry and surface properties, such as water wettability, are presented and discussed.
