The precise control of tiny droplets on surfaces is essential for advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and next‐generation lab‐on‐a‐chip diagnostics. However, once droplet volume reaches pico- and ...

The fluid-handling bioprocessing surfaces that successfully repel microliter droplets aren’t as effective for nano- and picoliter droplets. Because those smaller droplets are more sensitive to ...

I am Dr. Beverly Barnum, a senior application scientist at Bettersize Instruments. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from California State University and later completed a Ph.D. in ...

Powder coating is now preferred over liquid coating and has also been extensively employed in numerous industries due to its negligible VOC (volatile organic compound) emission, high solid content, ...

Surface modification of micro-nanoparticles at the atomic and close-to-atomic scales is of great importance to their applications in a variety of fields, such as energy storage, catalysis, sensors, ...

Panel a: Many model simulations were made by changing particle sizes at emissions (e.g., 'Small size' and 'Large size'). The 'Detailed method' can simulate various coating states of BC particles (pure ...

Living bacteria embedded in coatings could clean wastewater, capture carbon and generate biofuels—but only if they survive ...

With each transition to a new technology node, fab requirements for metal and particle contamination become more stringent, posing challenges for existing coating methods such as anodization or plasma ...

This appendix reviews various coating process technologies: diffusion coating, thermal spray (particulate deposition), physical vapor deposition (atomistic or molecular transfer), and sputtering ...

Particle size and shape can also affect various other properties of inks, paints, and coatings. In terms of viscosity, smaller particles have a higher surface area, increasing viscosity, which ...
