Slippery surfaces have received great attention for more than a quarter-century. In particular,
during the last decade, interest has increased exponentially, resulting in thousands of …

Although blood-contacting medical devices are used widely, blood clot formation
(thrombosis) leads to device failure and potentially catastrophic adverse thrombotic events …

Salt crystallization is a major cause of weathering of rocks, artworks and monuments.
Damage can only occur if crystals continue to grow in confinement, ie within the pore space …

In this work, the drag reduction (DR) performance of superhydrophobic composite coatings
was investigated. The DR behavior for both short-term and long-term use was studied using …

Solar Salt-based nanofluids have attracted significant scientific interest in recent years due
to their improved thermal properties, making them strong candidates as thermal energy …

Video-based particle tracking microrheology that requires∼ 2 μl per sample is used to
measure the viscosity of protein solutions of monoclonal antibodies. Direct imaging provides …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are sustainably sourced, non-toxic, high-strength
nanoparticles most often derived from wood pulp. The incorporation of CNCs into latexes via …

The errors on rheological measurements due to overfilling of Newtonian fluids using parallel
plate and cone-plate setups in rotational rheometry are quantified. Overfilled sample causes …

Semi-solid metal processing (SSMP) is an ideal method of producing high-quality products
with fewer defects in casting technology. Viscosity is the most important physical and …

Glycerol is a hygroscopic fluid that spontaneously absorbs water vapour from the
atmosphere. For applications involving glycerol, care must be taken to avoid exposure to …
