A (model) composite system for drug delivery was developed based on a thermoresponsive
hydrogel loaded with microparticles. We used Pluronic F127 hydrogel as the continuous …

The evolution of the liquid bridge formed between two coalescing sessile yield-stress drops
is studied experimentally. Surprisingly, we find that the height of the bridge evolves similar to …

The spreading of liquid filaments on solid surfaces is of paramount importance to a wide
range of applications including ink-jet printing, coating, and direct ink writing (DIW) …

In the last decade, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has gained popularity for allowing the
fabrication of pieces with complex shapes. The final quality of the pieces is strongly linked to …

We develop a combined numerical (using direct numerical simulation) and scaling model to
study the dynamics of two identical photocurable, shear-thinning polymeric drops …

Hypothesis There exists a generalized solution for the spontaneous spreading dynamics of
droplets taking into account the influence of interfacial tension and gravity. Experiments This …

Droplet-based direct-write printing (one form of 3D printing) methods, like inkjet printing,
aerosol jet printing (AJP), etc., have changed our ideas about bottom-up additive …

An instantaneous chemical reaction and solidification have been experimentally explored
during sodium alginate drop impact on calcium chloride liquid pool through a high-speed …

Recently, there is a growing interest in material extrusion to print thermoset resins to
manufacture large format and high-performance parts. However, the fidelity and mechanical …

The problem of melting a crystal dendrite is modeled as a quasi-steady Stefan problem. By
employing the Baiocchi transform, asymptotic results are derived in the limit that the crystal …
