Dynamic wetting is a ubiquitous phenomenon and frequently observed in our daily life, as
exemplified by the famous lotus effect. It is also an interfacial process of upmost importance …

The wettability of ceramics by liquid metals is discussed from both the fundamental point of
view and the point of view of applications. The role of interfacial reactions (simple dissolution …

This paper discusses crucial aspects related to crucibles and coatings in the context of
silicon crystallization and melting. Various types of crucibles are explored, emphasizing both …

The wettability of ceramic and metallic solids by liquid metals is discussed with emphasis on
the effect of interfacial reactions on the spreading kinetics and the final degree of wetting …

Solid state dewetting of ultrathin films is the most straightforward means of fabricating
substrate-supported noble metal nanostructures. This assembly process is, however, quite …

A high-performance supercapacitor was successfully developed using graphene-based 3D
hybrid nanostructured electrodes. The 3D hybrid nanostructure, consisting of vertically …

Abstract The Cu-Ni system is a typical dissolutive system due to its mutual dissolution across
a wide range of temperatures and compositions. We characterized the effects of Ni …

Approaches for addressing the high processing temperatures required in reactive melt
infiltration (RMI) processing of state-of-the-art multiphase ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) …

The effects of substrate roughness on the wettability of non-reactive wetting and compound
forming wetting systems were investigated by the sessile drop technique at high …

The surface of silicon is very sensitive to interactions with oxygen present as impurity in
furnace atmosphere. It is shown that three types of Si surfaces can be obtained depending …
