The free surface of a thin polymeric film is often unstable and deforms into various micro-
/nano-patterns under an externally applied electric field. This paper reviews a recent …

An analytical solution is developed for the unsteady flow of fluid through a parallel rotating
plate microchannel, under the influence of electrokinetic force using the Debye–Hückel (DH) …

Microstructuring the surface of membranes is recognized as one of the effective strategies to
mitigate the fouling phenomenon. Over the years, significant efforts have been undertaken to …

To improve the electrically assisted patterning process and create smaller sized features
with the higher active surface area, the combined thermocapillary-electrohydrodynamic (TC …

In the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) patterning process, electrostatic destabilization of the air–
polymer interface results in micro-and nano-size patterns in the form of raised formations …

The influence of electrostatic heterogeneity on the electric-field-induced destabilization of
thin ionic liquid (IL) films is investigated to control spatial ordering and to reduce the lateral …

Creating well-ordered, submicron-sized pillars have been stated as main limitation for
electrically induced patterning of nanofilms (thickness< 100 nm)[1]. In our previous works, it …

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) and thermocapillary (TC) forces are used to destabilize the
interface of ultrathin liquid films and create sub-micrometer-sized features. EHD instabilities …

Electric field-induced micro-/nanopatterns in thin polymer films, sometimes referred as
electrohydrodynamic patterning, is a promising technique to fabricate micro-/nanostructures …

Robust, reproducible patterning over large areas is essential to the fabrication of
miniaturized devices. When production and cost-efficiency are concerned, guided-assembly …
