![]() | Miller, Jan D. | Study of particle-bubble interaction using atomic force microscopy: current possibilities and challenges | Study of interaction forces between mineral particles and air bubbles is a key to understanding flotation processes. Measurement of such interaction forces has only recently been made possible with the introduction of the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the colloidal probe technique. Using AFM, in... | Particle-bubble interaction; atomic force microscopy (AFM); hydrophobic force; contact angle; hydrodynamic force | 2002 |

![]() | Miller, Jan D. | Surface characterization and new tools for research | In the selective separation of mineral phases by flotation, surface chemistry is the principal determinant of the average contact angle for a specific mineral phase in flotation pulp. The average contact angle is, in turn, the principal determinant of the bubble-particle attachment efficiency in th... | Flotation; minerals; surface chemistry; contact angle | 2007 |

![]() | Miller, Jan D. | Hydrophobicity and elemental composition of laser-printed toner films | Laser-printed toner films on a polymer support were treated with alkaline (NaOH) aqueous solutions at elevated temperature (80-85° C). These toner films were examined with a sessile-drop contact-angle measurement technique in order to establish the hydrophobicity of the toner surface. Also, X-ray p... | contact angle; deinking flotation; hydrophobicity; ink; recovered fibers; toners; waste papers; wettabiIity | 1996 |
