Measurement and Modelling of The Force Required to Move Coalesced Oil Droplets along Oleophillic and Oleophobic Fibres.

This paper presents the results of an extensive series of measurements of droplet-fibre forces in mist (coalescing) filters. A method was developed which allowed droplet-fibre forces to be measured using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The AFM was also be utilised to measure the surface roughness...
