| Zusammenfassung: | The phenomenon of particles being "driven up the wall" of a vessel by bursting bubbles at an air-water interface covered with hydrophobic nanoparticles is reported. Experiments have shown that the bubbles bursting at the interface give rise to the local surface pressure gradient, which pushes the particles to climb and coat the walls of the vessel. A theoretical model based on the lubrication approach to estimate the height and speed at which the particle layers climb up the walls yields values that are in fair agreement with the experimental measurements. The effects of the liquid viscosity, electrolyte strength, and particle wettability are also examined |
