We review the uses of nuclear magnetic resonance techniques for experiments with fluids.
More precisely we focus on the progress of knowledge in complex flows, rheology of …

Drying plays a central role in various fabrication processes and applications of functional
nanoporous materials, most prominently in relation to energy storage and conversion …

Magnetic resonance imaging visualization down to nanometric liquid films in model porous
media with pore sizes from micro-to nanometers enables one to fully characterize the …

In order to characterize the hygroscopic properties of cellulose-based materials, which can
absorb large amounts of water from vapor in ambient air, or the adsorption capacity of …

We show that it is possible to follow the liquid transfer between a cement paste and a porous
medium in contact with it, by analysing the evolution of the distribution of 1 H NMR relaxation …

Formation of cracks as a result of desiccation is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature which is
influenced by various factors including the environmental conditions, the properties of soil …

We study the consequences of drying on the internal structure of compressible materials
containing pores of different sizes, which may be seen as model systems of sponges or …

The desiccation of porous materials encompasses a wide range of technological and
industrial processes and is acutely sensitive to the hierarchical structure of the porous …

We study the stress developed during the drying of a colloidal drop of silica nanoparticles. In
particular, we use the wrinkling instability of a thin floating sheet to measure the net stress …

Particle-stabilized foams have attracted considerable research interest, due to their long
term stability (months to years) and the possibility to use them as precursors for production of …
