Successful PhD defense of Milad Eftekhari

On July 25, 2023, M.Sc. Milad Eftekhari very successfully defended his dissertation with the topic "The effect of ultrafine particles on the interfacial and hydrodynamic properties of multiphase systems".

Ultrafine particles are relevant to many practical applications, including froth flotation, emulsion and foam formation, printing, and drug delivery. Such particles have tremendous effect on the interfacial and hydrodynamic properties of the multiphase systems both in static and dynamic conditions. Combining experimental and theoretical approaches, this research scrutinized a multidisciplinary subject focusing on hydrodynamic and physicochemical characteristics of the ultrafine particles at fluidic interfaces. In particular, the effect of ultrafine particles on the (i) surface activity of the surfactants of different charges, (ii) mobility of the interfaces, and (iii) kinetics of particles attachment were investigated.
