When thin films of colloidal fluids are dried, a range of transitions are observed and the final
film profile is found to depend on the processes that occur during the drying step. This article …

For a wide range of applications, films are deposited from colloidal particles suspended in a
volatile liquid. There is burgeoning interest in stratifying colloidal particles into separate …

Materials in Conservation is the definitive introduction to the properties of materials used in
conservation. The continual struggle of conservators to ameliorate the deterioration of …

The hydration behaviour of cement can influence film-formation processes in polymer
emulsions in polymer-cement waterproof coatings, thereby affecting their macroscopic …

The efficiency of polymer based bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells mainly depends on the
film morphology of the absorption layer and the interface properties between the stacked …

Soluble polymer is frequently added to inorganic particle suspensions to provide
mechanical strength and adhesiveness to particulate coatings. To engineer coating …

Purpose Semi-solid extrusion (SSE) 3D printing has potential pharmaceutical applications
for producing personalised medicine. However, the effects of ink properties and drug …

Diffusion coefficients in polymer solutions are strongly dependent on composition and
temperature. In many cases sufficient data are not available due to time-consuming …

This work describes an emulsion polymer with self-healing capability based on a dynamic
covalent bonding mechanism. A latex prepolymer (LPtB) containing bulky amine units was …

Capillary flow and drying of polymer solutions in open microchannels are explored over time
scales spanning seven orders of magnitude: from capillary filling (10–3–10 s) to the …
