Investigating the Application of Nanoscale Bilayers Assembly on Stainless Steel Plate to Evaporation Behavior

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study investigates the use of nanoscale bilayers assembly film for hydrophilic modification on stainless steel plate and observed its effect on the plates evaporation behavior in acetone. This study first establishes the technique of nanoscale bilayers assembly, then performs surface hydrophilic modification on stainless steel plate by changing the surface structure, which produces different contact angles. The relationship between layers (0, 5, 10, 15 bilayers) of surface modified and the contact angle is empirically determined, and results show that, similar to findings stated in the literature [, after surface modification the contact angle decreases from 70° (layer 0) to 24° (layers 15); in addition, the results from this study have demonstrated a certain level of technical capability. This study was investigated the evaporation test in a modified surface , also is the first time reported in previous literature. Evaporation tests show that under the best contact angle evaporation rate can be increased by 50%, indicating the high potential of surface hydrophilic modification on stainless steel plate for improving evaporation behavior.
