Abstract The dewatering experiments of fine coal with different ash contents in the particle size range of 0.125 mm − 0 mm were investigated in this study. Structures of coal samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and surface functional groups were detected by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Wettability and wetting heats of coal samples were determined by contact angle measurements and micro-calorimeter system, respectively. In this study, the dewatering results indicate that the ash content of fine coal had less effect on the coal dewatering than the coalification degree in the dewatering process. However, for the given coal sample the moisture content was significantly affected by the ash content while the coal particle size was less than 0.125 mm. The decrease of moisture content in coal sample after the ash was removed indicating that the hydrophobic property of coal surface was enhanced based on contact angle measurements and wetting heats. In addition, kaolinite played a primary role of minerals in coal for the coal dewatering.

Crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) and 0.8 wt.% silicon-substituted HA (SiHA) thin films were produced using magnetron co-sputtering. These films were subjected to contact angle measurements and in vitro cell culture study using human osteoblast-like (HOB) cells. A wettability study showed that SiHA has a lower contact angle, and thus is more hydrophilic in nature, as compared to HA. Consequently, enhanced cell growth was observed on SiHA at all time-points. Furthermore, distinct and well-developed actin filaments could be seen within HOB cells on SiHA. Thus, this work demonstrated that the surface properties of the coating may be modified by the substitution of Si into the HA structure.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the TiO2 nanotubes growth and the variation in its diameter to improve the surface properties of Ti-7.5Mo to use for biomedical applications. For the nanotubes TiO2 growth, the samples were anodized in glycerol and ammonium fluoride and divided according to the anodizing potential at 5V to 10V and 24 hour time. The surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray analysis (XRD) and contact angle measurements. The average tube diameter, ranging in size from 13 to 23 nm, was found to increase with increasing anodizing voltage. It was also observed a decrease in contact angle in accordance with the increase in the anodizing potential. The X-ray analysis showed the presence of anatase phase in samples whose potential was 10V and this condition represents a simple surface treatment for Ti-7.5Mo alloy that has high potential for biomedical applications.
