Degassing and Temperature Effects on the Formation of Nanobubbles at the Mica/Water Interface

The effects of temperature and degassing on the formation of nanobubbles at the Mica/water interface were investigated. The nanobubles were analyzed using atomic force microscopy. Nanobubles were formed by the liquids of different temperature in order to study the temperature effects. It was observed that the average density of the nanobubles was decreased when the ethanol and water were degassed. It was also observed that the density of the nanobubles were increased with the liquid temperature and showed a growth when temperature was more than 30°C.
