High-speed printing processes are a leading technology for the large-scale manufacture of a
new generation of nanoscale and microscale devices. Central to all printing processes is the …

Nano-imprint lithography (NIL) is one of the most promising patterning technologies, in
which nano-and micro-patterns are fabricated on various substrates. NIL provides high …

Experimental investigations of the liquid transfer between two separating plates have been
carried out, with the aim of increasing the ink transfer ratio in micro-gravure-offset printing. A …

The dynamics of liquid bridges are relevant to a wide variety of applications including high-
speed printing, extensional rheometry, and floating-zone crystallization. Although many …

This paper presents both experimental and numerical simulations of liquid transfer between
two solid surfaces with contact angle hysteresis (CAH). Systematic studies on the role of the …

Liquid bridges with moving contact lines are found in a variety of settings such as capillary
feeders and high-speed printing. Although it is often assumed that the length scale for these …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can impart desirable barrier properties in film packaging
applications; however, commercial production of these materials is inhibited by the absence …

Roll-to-roll patterning of small-scale features on a rapidly moving web is an industrially
important process with a wide array of commercial applications both old and new. Examples …

Liquid bridges with moving contact lines are relevant in a variety of natural and industrial
settings, ranging from printing processes to the feeding of birds. While it is often assumed …

In this work, a systematic experimental study was performed to understand the fast liquid
transfer process between two surfaces. According to the value of the Reynolds number (Re) …
