Evaporation of a drop, though a simple everyday observation, provides a fascinating subject
for study. Various issues interact here, such as dynamics of the contact line, evaporation …

Injectable long-acting formulations, specifically poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) based
systems, have been used to deliver drugs systemically for up to 6 months. Despite the …

Evaporation, pervaporation, and forward osmosis are processes leading to a mass transfer
of solvent across an interface: gas/liquid for evaporation and solid/liquid (membrane) for …

As sessile drops of aqueous colloidal suspensions dry, a close-packed particle deposit
forms that grows from the edge of the drop toward the center. To compensate for evaporation …

Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a
dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the …

Injectable, long-acting drug delivery systems provide effective drug concentrations in the
blood for up to 6 months. Naltrexone-loaded poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) …

We derive a model to describe the dynamics of confined directional drying of a colloidal
dispersion. In such experiments, a dispersion of rigid colloids is confined in a capillary tube …

We report the effect of polarity and surface charge density on the nucleation and growth
kinetics of desiccation cracks in deposits of colloids formed by drying. We show that the …

Soft porous solids can change their shapes by absorbing liquids via capillarity. Such poro-
elasto-capillary interactions can be seen in the wrinkling of paper, swelling of cellulose …

The evaporation of a colloidal dispersion is characterized by solute accumulation at the air-
liquid interface, leading to the gradual formation of a gelled skin. The development of this …
