Overview

Abraham Marmur is affiliated with the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Israel. Their research primarily spans the fields of Engineering and Materials Science, with a focus on various subfields that include Surfaces, Coatings and Films, Mechanics of Materials, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Mechanics, and Statistical and Nonlinear Physics.

The topics addressed in their research encompass Surface Modification and Superhydrophobicity, Adhesion, Friction, and Surface Interactions, Phase Equilibria and Thermodynamics, Advanced Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer, Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials, as well as Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Technologies.

Recent publications authored by Abraham Marmur include:

  • Super-hydrophobic surfaces: Methodological considerations for physical design, 2020, Journal of Colloid and Interface Science
  • The Contact Angle Hysteresis Puzzle, 2022, Colloids and Interfaces
  • Surface tension of an ideal solid: What does it mean?, 2020, Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science
  • Equations of state: Demonstration of a mathematical development methodology, 2021, Process Safety and Environmental Protection

Co-authors frequently collaborating with Abraham Marmur include S. Kojevnikova, Gurpreet Kaur, and Shlomo Magdassi. Additionally, these frequent venues of publication highlight the interdisciplinary nature of their work:

  • Journal of Colloid and Interface Science
  • Additive manufacturing
  • Colloids and Interfaces
  • Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science
  • Process Safety and Environmental Protection

Their research on surface phenomena notably addresses the challenges related to superhydrophobic surfaces and fundamental surface tension properties. The work on "Super-hydrophobic surfaces: Methodological considerations for physical design" (2020) and "The Contact Angle Hysteresis Puzzle" (2022) explores the physical and theoretical aspects of wetting and adhesion. The 2020 article, "Surface tension of an ideal solid: What does it mean?" further investigates the fundamental thermodynamics related to solid surfaces.

Abraham Marmur's interest in Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing is reflected in joint research efforts such as participation in studies on "Fabrication of superhydrophobic 3D objects by Digital Light Processing." Their investigations also extend into equations of state and mathematical methodologies relevant to chemical engineering and process safety.
