EnglishThe interaction of rising gas bubbles with submerged air-repelling or air-attracting surfaces is relevant to various technological applications that rely on gas-microvolume handling or removal. This work demonstrates how submerged metal meshes with super air-attracting/repelling properties can be employed to manipulate microvolumes of air, rising buoyantly in the form of bubbles in water. Superaerophobic meshes are observed to selectively allow the passage of air bubbles depending on the mesh pore size, the bubble volume-equivalent diameter, and the bubble impact velocity on the mesh. On the other hand, superaerophilic meshes reduce or amplify the volume captured from a train of incoming bubbles. Finally, a spatial wettability pattern on the mesh is used to control the size of the outgoing bubble, and an empirical relation is formulated to predict the released gas volume. The study demonstrates how porous materials with controlled wettability can be used to precisely modulate and control the outcome of bubble/mesh interactions.
