A recent study by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences redefines how liquids maintain their contact with solid surfaces -also known as wettability - from an intermolecular force ...

SURFACE tension, σ and viscosity, η, are regarded as manifestations of van der Waals' intermolecular forces of attraction. If, therefore, rise in temperature merely separates the molecules of a liquid ...

In general, friction between two macroscale surfaces is proportional to normal force. However, the frictional characteristics of nanoscale surfaces cannot be fully described by the framework of ...

Let us take a binary solution made up of two volatile liquids 1 and 2. As the liquid start evaporating; a stage will come when the vapour pressure of liquid will be in equilibrium with the ...
