Drying drops of colloidal dispersions have attracted attention from researchers since the
nineteenth century. The multiscale nature of the problem involving physics at different …

The formation of hierarchical porous protein scaffolds from oil‐in‐water (o/w) high internal
phase emulsions (HIPEs) stabilized by bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein nanoparticles …

Crack formation is a frequent result of residual stress release from colloidal films made by
the evaporation of colloidal droplets containing nanoparticles. Crack prevention is a …

Droplet evaporation on porous materials is a complex dynamic that occurs with spontaneous
liquid imbibition through pores by capillary action. Here, we explore water dynamics on a …

With an ever-increasing demand for sustainable alternatives to solvent-borne coatings and
paints, the pressure to develop aqueous alternatives that match or exceed the performance …

We describe experiments on drying of a hard-sphere colloidal suspension in confined
geometry where a drop of the suspension is squeezed in between two circular transparent …

Porous structures containing pores at different length scales are often encountered in nature
and are important in many applications. While several processing routes have been …

Colloidal particles in a tiny drying droplet are forced to assemble due to attractive capillary
forces. Jamming of the particles throughout the droplet remains either isotropic or …

Adsorption heat pumps offer a clean, zero-emission technology for universally applicable
cooling or heating utilizing water as a refrigerant and waste or renewable heat as driving …

The focus of the present article is the study of the influence of gravity on the particle
deposition profiles on a solid substrate during the evaporation of sessile, hanging and …
