Nanofluids alter the surface wettability of solids

We report the results of our studies on the changes in the contact angle and interfacial tension using a nanofluid composed of silica nanoparticles dispersed in water on three different solid substrates: gold (partially hydrophobic), glass (hydrophilic), and a silicon wafer (hydrophilic). We used bo...

520 |a We report the results of our studies on the changes in the contact angle and interfacial tension using a nanofluid composed of silica nanoparticles dispersed in water on three different solid substrates: gold (partially hydrophobic), glass (hydrophilic), and a silicon wafer (hydrophilic). We used both the goniometric method and drop-shape analysis to make the measurements. On the basis of the results of the drop-shape analysis using the Laplace equation, we evaluated the contributions of the interfacial tension change to the equilibrium contact angle and the presence of nanoparticles near the solid substrate, thereby elucidating the change in the wettability of the solid substrate. We found that the nanoparticles decrease the contact angle of the substrate with the increase in the nanoparticle concentration. To rationalize our experimental observations on the decrease in the contact angle of the solid substrate in the presence of nanoparticles, we calculated the surface volume fraction of the nanoparticles in the layer near the solid substrate using the particle layering model (based on the nanoparticles' excluded volume effect). We found that the volume fraction of the nanoparticles in the layer close to the substrate increased with an increase in the nanoparticle volume fraction in the bulk and correlated qualitatively with the change in the substrate wettability. The extent of the wettability alteration depends on the volume fraction of the nanoparticles, their size, and the type of substrate. We found a strong correlation between the change in the substrate wettability and the nanoparticle volume fraction in the layer closer to the substrate surface
