Evaporation of a drop, though a simple everyday observation, provides a fascinating subject
for study. Various issues interact here, such as dynamics of the contact line, evaporation …

Injectable long-acting formulations, specifically poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) based
systems, have been used to deliver drugs systemically for up to 6 months. Despite the …

A simple and novel method has been demonstrated for avoiding coffee ring structure based
on hydrosoluble polymer additives during droplet evaporation. The polymer additives lead to …

Drying usually results in various types of particle morphology that influence the properties
and the functionality of powders. Understanding how the final shape of the particle is formed …

Multi-component liquid droplets are useful systems to design particles with engineered solid
structures by spray drying. However, the use of such process still presents some scientific …

The uneven deposition at the edges of an evaporating droplet, termed the coffee-ring effect,
has been extensively studied during the past few decades to better understand the …

Here we demonstrate through experiment and simulation the polymer-assisted dispersion of
inorganic 2D layered nanomaterials such as boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) …

For the first time, pristine graphene can be controllably crumpled and unfolded. The
mechanism for graphene is radically different than that observed for graphene oxide; a …

We studied the evaporation-induced formation of supraparticles from dispersions of
elongated colloidal particles using experiments and computer simulations. Aqueous …

In order to enrich the variety of zinc oxide (ZnO), well-defined ZnO hollow microspheres self-
assembled by a mass of nanoparticles were successfully synthesized through a facile …
