Rheological Insights from the Oscillation Dynamics of Viscoelastic Sessile Drops
Peyman Rostami, Alfonso A. Castrejón-Pita, Günter K. Auernhammer
This study investigates the oscillation behavior of a sessile drop placed on a hydrophobic substrate subjected to vertical vibrations with varying frequencies and amplitudes. We ex…
Inkjet Printed Liquid Crystal Droplet for Complex Beam Manipulation
Mengmeng Li, Chao He, Steve J. Elston +6
The inkjet-fabricated liquid crystal (LC) droplet device not only capitalizes on the intrinsic birefringence properties of liquid crystals but also leverages the hemispherical shap…
Complex structured light generation using printed liquid crystal droplets
Xuke Qiu, Runchen Zhang, Yifei Ma +10
Inkjet-printed liquid crystal (LC) droplets exhibit an intricate spatially-varying birefringence due to their complex internal director configuration. While such anisotropy is ofte…
Substrate Curvature Curbs the Coffee Ring Effect
John McCarthy, Alfonso Castrejón-Pita, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia +1
"When the liquid phase of a particle-laden droplet evaporates, a ring of solute is typically formed - what has become known as the "coffee ring effect". A key focus of recent work…
Surface modulation of metal-organic frameworks for on-demand photochromism in the solid state
Samraj Mollick, Yang Zhang, Waqas Kamal +7
Organic photoswitchable molecules have struggled in solid state form to fulfill their remarkable potential, in terms of photoswitching performance and long-term stability when comp…
Nano-Trap Engineering in MOF Microenvironment for Ultratrace Iodine Sensors
Arun S. Babal, Samraj Mollick, Waqas Kamal +4
Ultra-sensitive and highly selective iodine gas sensors play a crucial role during the nuclear radiation leak for a timely detection and mitigation of pollution, ensuring the safet…
