Controlled Spherulitic Crystal Growth from Salt Mixtures: A Universal Mechanism for Complex Crystal Self-Assembly
Tess Heeremans, Simon Lépinay, Romane Le Dizès Castell +5
Spherulites are complex polycrystalline structures that form through the self-assembly of small aggregated nanocrystals starting from a central point and growing radially outward.…
Water-rich amorphous state from drying mixed-metal sulfate solutions
Christiaan T. van Campenhout, Romane Le Dizès Castell, Tess Heeremans +3
Amorphous and glassy materials are important for many advanced applications, from flexible solar cells to drug delivery systems. To this end, new glasses are in high demand, but pr…
Damage due to Ice Crystallization
Menno Demmenie, Paul Kolpakov, Boaz van Casteren +3
The freezing of water is one of the major causes of mechanical damage in materials during wintertime; surprisingly this happens even in situations where water only partially satura…
Droplet Size Distribution in Emulsions
Manon L'Estimé, Michael Schindler, Noushine Shahidzadeh +1
The droplet size in emulsions is known to affect the rheological properties and plays a crucial role in the many applications of emulsions. Despite its importance, the underlying m…
Droplet Splashing on Rough Surfaces
T. C. de Goede, K. G. de Bruin, N. Shahidzadeh +1
When a droplet hits a surface fast enough, droplet splashing can occur: smaller secondary droplets detach from the main droplet during impact. While droplet splashing on smooth sur…
Wetting of Water on Graphene
Bijoyendra Bera, Noushine Shahidzadeh, Himanshu Mishra +1
The wetting properties of graphene have proven controversial and difficult to assess. The presence of a graphene layer on top of a substrate does not significantly change the wetti…
Measurement of the Pressure induced by salt crystallization in confinement
Julie Desarnaud, Daniel Bonn, Noushine Shahidzadeh
Salt crystallization is a major cause of weathering of artworks, monuments and rocks. Damage will occur if crystals continue to grow in confinement, i.e. within the pore space of t…
