      Movie A and B show the cleaning of an aluminum substrate using the 0.5% Poly(ethylene oxide) solution laden with 1% nanoparticles.


      In movie A, the nanoparticle-laden solution is completely sucked out. Movie B shows the cleaning of 600-850 micron particles from the substrate using the nanoparticle-laden solution. Some 600-850 micron particles in the corner are not sucked out.
