Inkjet printing is considered to be a key technology in the field of defined polymer deposition.
This article provides an introduction to inkjet printing technology and a short overview of the …

The progressive break-up of an initially stable fluid column or thread into a number of
smaller droplets is an important dynamical process that impacts many commercial …

The dynamics of drop formation and pinch-off have been investigated for a series of low
viscosity elastic fluids possessing similar shear viscosities, but differing substantially in …

We show that visualization and analysis of capillary-driven thinning and pinch-off dynamics
of the columnar neck in an asymmetric liquid bridge created by drip**-onto-substrate can …

Break-up of viscoelastic filaments is pervasive in both nature and technology. If a filament is
formed by placing a drop of saliva between a thumb and forefinger and is stretched, the …

We investigate the dynamics of the capillary thinning and break-up process for low viscosity
elastic fluids such as dilute polymer solutions. Standard measurements of the evolution of …

We investigate the concentration dependence of the characteristic relaxation time of dilute
polymer solutions in transient uniaxial elongational flow. A series of monodisperse …

Liquid transfer and drop formation/deposition processes involve complex free-surface flows
including the formation of columnar necks that undergo spontaneous capillary-driven …

By adding minute concentrations of a high-molecular-weight polymer, liquid jets or bridges
collapsing under the action of surface tension develop a characteristic shape of uniform …

Generating patterns of cells on surfaces is of great significance not only for fundamental
studies in biomedical science but also for the creation of functional customized tissue or …
