The interplay between phase separation and wetting of multicomponent mixtures is
ubiquitous in nature and technology and recently gained significant attention across …

The role of absolute viscosities on the dynamics of droplet spreading on solids and droplet-
droplet coalescence in liquid-liquid systems is experimentally characterized for a broad …

Moving contact lines of more than two phases dictate a large number of interfacial
phenomena. Despite their significance in fundamental and applied processes, the contact …

Droplet coalescence is a common phenomenon and plays an important role in
multidisciplinary applications. Previous studies mainly consider the coalescence of miscible …

Due to capillarity, sessile droplets of identical liquids will instantaneously fuse when they
come in contact at their three-phase lines. However, with drops of different, completely …

Hypothesis Droplet coalescence process is important in many applications and has been
studied extensively when two droplets are surrounded by gas. However, the coalescence …

The merging of immiscible drops differs significantly from the merging of miscible drops due
to the formation of a liquid–liquid interface between drops. The immiscibility requires the …

Drops in contact with swollen, elastomeric substrates can induce a capillary mediated phase
separation in wetting ridges. Using confocal microscopy, we visualize phase separation of …

By the combination of high-speed imaging and numerical simulation, we explore the
hydrodynamics and possible morphologies of the entire coalescence of a pendent droplet …

We study the coalescence of a drop with its bulk phase in fluid–fluid demixing colloid–
polymer mixtures. Such mixtures show behaviour analogous to molecular fluid–fluid …
