Vapor-mediated wetting and imbibition control on micropatterned surfaces
Ze Xu, Raphael Saiseau, Olinka RamÃrez Soto +1
Wetting of micropatterned surfaces is ubiquitous in nature and key to many technological applications like spray cooling, inkjet printing, and semiconductor processing. Overcoming…

Skin formation in evaporating colloidal droplets
Raphael Saiseau, Lorenzo Botto, Christian Diddens +1
When a droplet containing a concentrated suspension evaporates in a dry environment, a layer often forms at the interface accumulating non-volatile material. Such a "skin layer" ex…

Decay dynamics of a single spherical domain in near-critical phase-separated conditions
Raphael Saiseau, Henri Truong, Thomas Guérin +2
Domain decay is at the heart of the so-called evaporation-condensation Ostwald-ripening regime of phase ordering kinetics, where the growth of large domains occurs at the expense o…
