Adsorptive Filtration, of course. Puzzled? Tune in to find out what's going on behind the scenes and how active sorbent surface area can make or beak your filtration efficiency. Wed, 24 Sep 2009 17:00:00 EST http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2003/smartsurface.html The guys and gals at MIT are at it again....cooking up some new magic with their surface chemistry mambo-jambo. This little trick caught our eye, and we think that the die hard surface chemists out there (you know who you are) will be equally as impressed. MIT's description for their "smart surface" (as if they really needed to call it smart) is in one simple word "eloquent." Tue, 11 Aug 2009 06:15:00 EST http://www.thermoporecorp.com/ThermoTV.html ThermoPore has taken to the airways with seven new feature flicks for your viewing pleasure. We're not sure if ThermoPore's Ken Milam is going to make it to the Oscars...but he's gotten at least one call from his mother letting him know that she's proud! Tune in and watch Ken demystify capillary systems and filtration theory so that we pay for those acting lessons. Mon, 09 Mar 2009 08:00:00 EST http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXaltOAVWL8 This is a way cool video that demonstrates the influence of an object's hydrophobic/hydrophilic surface property with water. As simplistic as this sounds, the various types of video captured by the folks at MIT showcase surface energy/surface tension in action. Grab your popcorn. We give this flick two thumbs up.

Okay, it probably will. But, will it stay clean when your buddy drops his slope side chilly dog on the same apparel? Well, it would if it offered the same properties as the Lotus plant. This weeks featured fight - Lotus vs. Honey. Let's get it on!

Most impressive was the identification of the air/water interface that is found at the surface of the coated solid. Cudos to Neil Shircliffe for a well documented video that makes material science simple. Sat, 07 Feb 2009 08:00:00 EST
