02/06/2017 – S. Karpitschka – Marangoni Contraction of Evaporating Sessile Droplets of Binary Mixtures
The evaporation of sessile droplets of liquid mixtures is a ubiquitous natural and industrial process, relevant, e.g., for painting, for cleaning/drying of semiconductor surfaces, or for the patterned deposition of…
19/05/2017 – D. Rodney – Mechanics of fibrous materials: can Poisson’s function be below 0 or above 1/2?
The mechanics of fibrous materials is both complex and intriguing. Here, we explore one class of such materials, made of the disordered entanglement of a single long coiled fiber. This architected material is of both…
