When thin films of colloidal fluids are dried, a range of transitions are observed and the final
film profile is found to depend on the processes that occur during the drying step. This article …

The drying of a drop of blood or plasma on a solid substrate leads to the formation of
interesting and complex patterns. Inter-and intra-cellular and macromolecular interactions in …

Despite the growing demand for transparent conductive films in smart and wearable
electronics for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, achieving a flexible EMI …

Our daily electromagnetic environment is becoming increasingly complex with the rapid
development of consumer electronics and wireless communication technologies, which in …

Increasing electrode thickness and loading can help Li-ion batteries achieve higher energy
densities, but the resulting decay in electrochemical performance at elevated rates remains …

The drying of a deposited drop of blood leads to the formation of a complex pattern.
Numerous coupled mechanisms are involved in this process, such as evaporation, flow …

Failure is defined by a coating's purpose, but a crack is a failure in almost every application.
Cracks cause problems in service when they first arise, well before they are widespread. By …

Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a
dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the …

Fascinating pattern formation by quasi-static crack growth in thin films has received
increasing interest in both interdisciplinary science and engineering applications. The paper …

The decontamination of solid surfaces is an important process in nuclear decommissioning,
but also during regular maintenance operations in active nuclear facilities. The outcomes of …
