Dripping, jetting and tip streaming have been studied up to a certain point separately by both
fluid mechanics and microfluidics communities, the former focusing on fundamental aspects …

Delayed capillary break-up of viscoelastic filaments presents scientific and technical
challenges relevant for drop formation, dispensing, and adhesion in industrial and biological …

Spraying occurs by the impact of water droplets on the superhydrophobic wire meshes by
liquid penetration during the spreading and recoiling. We have shown that adding a small …

This review is devoted to understanding the role of elasticity in the main flow modes of
polymeric viscoelastic liquids—shearing and extension. The flow through short capillaries is …

This work explores the electrospinnability of low-sulfonate Kraft lignin (LSL)/
polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solutions in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and the ability of the …

We show that poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO) solutions formulated using solvent mixtures of
acetonitrile (AcN) and water can be centrifugally spun into fibers. We find that spinnability …

Quantitative studies of capillarity-driven pinching and extensional rheology of aqueous
solutions of polysaccharides like hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) are beyond the measurable …

Associative polysaccharides, decorated by multiple but short, side-chain hydrophobic
stickers (typically 6–20 carbon long) that associate in solution, are used as thickeners for an …

Measurements of the capillary-driven thinning and breakup of fluid filaments are widely used
to extract the extensional rheological properties of complex materials. For viscoelastic fluids …

The dynamics of capillary breakup of a fluid thread of a dilute polymer solution near the Θ-
point is studied using a molecular approach. Several regimes arising during the …
