An experimental investigation of the rapid formation and collapse of bubbles formed on a
micro heater (25× 80 μm2) is presented. Short electric pulses in the range of 1 μs to 4 μs are …

Additive manufacturing potentially generates customized polymeric objects with tailored
geometry while reducing waste, employing biodegradable polymers and striving to use …

Direct inkjet printing (DIP) allows the production of small ceramic specimens with special
geometries starting from high solids content suspensions. In this work, thin (300μm …

Direct inkjet printing (DIP) of ceramics as a novel solid freeform fabrication (SFF) method has
been subjected to extensive research in the recent years. The studies have focused either …

Rapid heating of a liquid by a thin film heater surface may initiate homogeneous nucleation
of vapor in the liquid in contact with the surface. In such circumstances, nucleation is …

This paper discusses the visualization of microdevice dynamics using high-speed cine
photomicrograph. The visualization results in image sequences, which contain the kinematic …
