Photonic crystals (PhCs) influence the propagation of light by their periodic variation in
dielectric contrast or refractive index. This review outlines the attractive optical qualities …

A solid withdrawn from a liquid bath entrains a film. In this review, after recalling the
predictions and results for pure Newtonian liquids coated on simple solids, we analyze the …

Deformable semi-solid liquid metal particles (LMP) have emerged as a promising substitute
for rigid conductive fillers due to their excellent electrical properties and stable conductance …

When a simple or complex liquid recedes from a smooth solid substrate it often leaves a
homogeneous or structured deposit behind. In the case of a receding non-volatile pure …

Films formed by dip coating brass wires with dilute and semi-dilute solutions of polyvinyl
butyral in benzyl alcohol were studied in their liquid and solid states. While dilute and semi …

Monolayers of assembled nano-objects with a controlled degree of disorder hold interest in
many optical applications, including photovoltaics, light emission, sensing, and structural …

The coating of a plate withdrawn from a bath of a suspension of non-Brownian,
monodisperse and neutrally buoyant spherical particles suspended in a Newtonian liquid …

The development of easy, translucent, and scalable UV-protection coatings for transparent
containers is of utmost importance to ensure the safety of several food and medical products …

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 …

This work evaluated the changes in the physicochemical properties (viscosity, surface
tension, and zeta potential) of both alumina sol and boehmite solution at different aging …
