While ridged, spherical, or cone superhydrophobic surfaces have been extensively utilized
to explore the droplet impact dynamics and the possibility of reducing contact time …

At large scales, particulate suspensions flow like homogeneous viscous liquids, but at the
particle scale, the role of the local heterogeneity brought by the particles cannot be …

Much of the science underpinning the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic lies in the
soft matter domain. Coronaviruses are composite particles with a core of nucleic acids …

The atomisation of a suspension containing liquid and dispersed particles is prevalent in
many applications. Previous studies of droplet breakup mainly focused on homogeneous …

In this study, we investigate the transition between the Newtonian and the viscoelastic
regimes during the pinch-off of droplets of dilute polymer solutions and discuss its link to the …

Dip coating consists of withdrawing a substrate from a bath to coat it with a thin liquid layer.
This process is well understood for homogeneous fluids, but heterogeneities, such as …

The impact of fluid drops on solid substrates has widespread interest in many industrial
coating and spraying applications, such as ink-jet printing and agricultural pesticide sprays …

When a droplet is generated, the ligament connecting the drop to the nozzle thins down and
eventually pinches off. Adding solid particles to the liquid phase leads to a more complex …

The formation of drops of a complex fluid, for instance including dissolved polymers and/or
solid particles, has practical implications in several industrial and biophysical processes. In …

The study is dedicated to the general features of the processes of deformation and
fragmentation of liquid drops have been studied when they collide with obstacles. Masks …
