The use of papers in packaging and development of novel technological applications for
paper substrates largely depends on the control of the hydrophilic properties of the cellulose …

The development of a physics-based model of food processing is essential to improve the
quality of processed food and optimize energy consumption. Food materials, particularly …

Spontaneous imbibition of wetting liquid into porous media is regarded as a crucially
important driving mechanism for enhancing oil recovery from naturally fractured reservoir …

Exposure to metal-containing aerosols has been linked with adverse health outcomes for
almost every organ in the human body. Commercially available techniques for quantifying …

Flexible biosensors for monitoring systems have emerged as a promising portable
diagnostics platform due to their potential for in situ point-of-care (POC) analytic devices …

“Distance-based” detection motifs on microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs)
allow quantitative analysis without using signal readout instruments in a similar manner to …

Cellulose and some cellulose derivatives can play vital roles in the enhancement of the
performance of absorbent products. Cellulose itself, in the form of cellulosic fibers or nano …

Under the dual pressure of energy consumption and environmental pollution, mankind
hopes to develop clean and renewable alternative energy, and the rapid development of …

In this paper, the mechanism for fluid flow at low velocity in a porous medium is analyzed
based on plastic flow of oil in a reservoir and the fractal approach. The analytical …

We present a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the dynamics of liquid
imbibition through paper. The Washburn equation is widely used to describe the dynamics …
