The emerging field of biomimetics allows one to mimic biology or nature to develop
nanomaterials, nanodevices, and processes which provide desirable properties …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are room temperature molten salts that possess preeminent
physicochemical properties and have shown great potential in many applications. However …

To begin to elucidate the principles of intermolecular dynamics in the crowded environment
of cells, employing Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations, we examined possible mechanism …

Biomimetics allows one to mimic nature to develop materials and devices of commercial
interest for engineers. Drag reduction in fluid flow is one of the examples found in nature. In …

The importance of wetting is becoming increasingly obvious and its control is inevitable in
many engineering applications, including tribology and interface nanotechnology. However …

In this study we investigate the correlation between the wetting, the contact angle, the
spreading, the surface energy and the surface tension for five types of DLC coatings (doped …

This is the first book to bring together both the basic theory and proven process engineering
practice of AFM. It is presented in a way that is accessible and valuable to practising …

The boundary condition at the solid–liquid interface on the micro/nanoscale is an important
issue in micro/nanofluidic systems, where drag forces between fluids and solid walls need to …

Mixing in chemical microreactors is a multi-scale processes as the transport mechanisms
occur at different length scales. Since the small scale mixing depends mainly on molecular …

In this paper, a review of different techniques used to measure the slip length on
superhydrophobic surfaces with large slip length is presented. First, we present the …
