For a wide range of applications, films are deposited from colloidal particles suspended in a
volatile liquid. There is burgeoning interest in stratifying colloidal particles into separate …

Speckle patterns are a powerful tool for high-precision metrology because they enable
remarkable performance in relatively simple setups. Nonetheless, researchers in this field …

Self‐healing polymers can significantly extend the service life of materials and structures by
autonomously repairing damage. Intrinsic healing holds great promise as a design strategy …

Nanoparticle addition can expand bioplastic use, as the resultant nanocomposite features
eg, improved mechanical properties. Hypothesis It is generally hypothesised that the …

There is a need for developing rapid and non-destructive techniques for the early detection
of seed-borne fungal pathogen because they can be an essential step towards adopting …

Stresses well below the critical fracture stress can lead to highly unpredictable delayed
fracture after a long period of seemingly quiescent stability. Delayed fracture is a major …

Numerous formulation processes of materials involve a drying step, during which
evaporation of a solvent from a multicomponent liquid mixture, often confined in a thin film or …

A continuous challenge for spray drying operations is the optimal control of product quality
despite the complex process removal of water and particle formation. In general, high …

The non-equilibrium assembly of bimodal colloids during evaporative processes is an
attractive means to achieve gradient or stratified layers in thick films. Here, we show that the …

Speckle metrology is a powerful tool in the measurement of wavelength and spectra.
Recently, speckle produced by multiple reflections inside an integrating sphere has been …
