The increasing importance of studies on soft matter and their impact on new technologies,
including those associated with nanotechnology, has brought intermolecular and surface …

Using what has become a celebrated catchphrase, Philip W. Anderson once wrote that
“more is different”(Science, Vol. 177, Issue 4047, pp. 393–396, 1972). First formulated in the …

This article deals with the resuspension phenomenon whereby particles adhering on a wall
surface can be re-entrained by a flowing fluid. This is an area where significant progress has …

A multitude of natural processes and technical applications require our ability to provide a
reliable prediction of crystal surface reactivity. During the last decades, the detailed analysis …

Abstract Knowledge of particle deposition and transport in saturated porous media is of
significant importance for various engineered applications and environmental concerns …

Micro-light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) can be used in mobile and virtual reality display
applications where high efficiency, resolution, service life and image quality are necessary …

The van der Waals force between contacting surfaces depends strongly on the surface
roughness. Theories that allow for estimating the adhesion force, or the force to separate …

In this study we conducted experiments with saturated columns packed with sand and glass
beads to quantitatively examine surface roughness effect on deposition and release of micro …

This review presents a summary of the current adhesion models available to date, between
real rough surfaces, starting from single asperity models and expanding to multiple asperity …

This study theoretically evaluated interactions between spherical colloids and rough
surfaces in three-dimensional space using Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) …
