For a wide range of applications, films are deposited from colloidal particles suspended in a
volatile liquid. There is burgeoning interest in stratifying colloidal particles into separate …

The multifunctional gradient self-stratifying coating (SSC) is attractive in many applications,
but the robustness and durability of the functionalities still remains challenging. Here, a …

Dispersion drying is an essential step in an enormous number of research and industry
fields, including self-assembly, membrane fabrication, printing, battery electrode fabrication …

A colloidal particle placed in an inhomogeneous solution of smaller nonadsorbing polymers
will move towards regions of lower polymer concentration in order to reduce the free energy …

When films are deposited from mixtures of colloidal particles of two different sizes, a diverse
range of functional structures can result. One structure of particular interest is a stratified film …

The separation of oil from oily water is a critical endeavor owing to the escalating global oil
pollution. Membrane separation technology has gained widespread adoption for oily water …

Tuning the morphology of supraparticles can crucially influence their final properties and is,
thus, important for their application in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. The …

A framework for performant Brownian Dynamics (BD) many-body simulations with adaptive
timestep** is presented. Contrary to the Euler–Maruyama scheme in common non …

A drying droplet containing colloidal particles can consolidate into a spherical assembly
called a supraparticle. Such supraparticles are inherently porous due to the spaces between …

Polydisperse smooth and spherical biocolloidal particles were suspended in aqueous
media and allowed to consolidate via evaporation-induced self-assembly. The stratification …
