Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Bubble dynamics are critical in industrial processes.
  • Electrospinning produces versatile polymer nanofibers for surface interactions.
  • Understanding bubble behavior on nanofibers aids in separation and transport applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate and investigate gas bubble interactions with electrospun poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and PMMA-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) nanofibers.
  • To assess the impact of reinforcement on nanofiber durability and gas permeability.
  • To explore the potential of these nanofibers in controlling bubble size, coalescence, and release frequency.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of PMMA and PMMA-PEG nanofibers via electrospinning.
  • Reinforcement of nanofibers with a plastic mesh to enhance mechanical properties.
  • High-speed visualization and a custom setup to study gas permeability and bubble dynamics.
  • Measurement of ultimate tensile strength and gas diffusion rates.

Main Results:

  • Reinforced membranes showed a 70-fold improvement in mechanical properties.
  • Hydrophobic PMMA nanofibers captured and coalesced rising bubbles, releasing them at a controlled size (8 ± 1 mm).
  • PMMA-PEG nanofibers restricted bubble diffusion due to van der Waals forces and water layer stability.

Conclusions:

  • Electrospun nanofibers offer tunable control over bubble dynamics.
  • Hydrophobic nanofibers effectively capture, coalesce, and release bubbles with predictable characteristics.
  • These findings support applications in heat exchangers, gas separation filters, and direct air capture (DAC).
