Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

The evaporation of a sessile droplet of liquid is a complex and multifaceted fundamental
topic of enduring scientific interest that is key to numerous physical and biological …

Surface nanobubbles are nanoscopic gaseous domains on immersed substrates which can
survive for days. They were first speculated to exist about 20 years ago, based on stepwise …

Droplets abound in nature and technology. In general, they are multicomponent, and, when
out of equilibrium, have gradients in concentration, implying flow and mass transport …

Surface nanobubbles are experimentally known to survive for days at hydrophobic surfaces
immersed in gas-oversaturated water. This is different from bulk nanobubbles, which are …

The evaporation of suspension droplets is the underlying mechanism in many surface-
coating and surface-patterning applications. However, the uniformity of the final deposit …

Atmospheric corrosion of metals is the most common type of corrosion which has a
significant impact on the environment and operational safety in various situations of …

The wetting effect has attracted great scientific interest because of its natural significance as
well as technical applications. Previous models mostly focus on one-component fluids or …

We extended a mathematical model for the drying of sessile droplets, based on the
lubrication approximation, to binary mixture droplets. This extension is relevant for eg inkjet …

The Marangoni contraction of sessile drops of a binary mixture of a volatile and a nonvolatile
liquid has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The origin of the contraction is …
