Wetting and interfacial adsorption in the Blume-Capel model on the square lattice

, 2013
We study the Blume-Capel model on the square lattice. To allow for wetting and interfacial adsorption, the spins on opposite boundaries are fixed in two different states, "+1" and "-1", with reduced couplings at one of the boundaries.

Anisotropic behaviour of compacted clayey silt subjected to hydromechanical paths

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Compaction induces anisotropy on soil deformational response due to preferential straining associated with the fabrication process. An experimental insight into the stress-strain response of Barcelona clayey silt is provided here.

Aqueous Two‐Phase Bioinks for Discrete Packing and Compartmentalization of 3D Bioprinted Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueous two‐phase systems (ATPS) enable the formation of biomimetic interfaces crucial for tissue engineering. However, clinical translation remains limited by the challenge of precisely controlling cellular compartmentalization. Here, we developed ATPS biomaterial inks for 3D bioprinting allowing tuneable droplet formation via NaCl modulation.

Avoiding Starvation in Tribocontact Through Active Lubricant Transport in Laser Textured Surfaces

Lubricants, 2019
Laser texturing is a viable tool to enhance the tribological performance of surfaces. Especially textures created with Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) show outstanding improvement in terms of reduction of coefficient of friction (COF) as well

The Floor‐Ceiling‐Chip, or 2 × 2D = Pseudo‐3D—Approaching 3D Cell Morphology and Organization between Two Opposing 2D Substrates with Cell‐Adhesive Protein Micropatterns

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we present a novel 3D cell patterning and culture platform. The “Floor‐Ceiling‐Chip” (FC‐Chip) consists of two opposing track‐etched membranes, creating a pseudo‐3D microenvironment for the cells in between. By providing the membranes with micropatterned cell‐adhesive islands of varying geometries and sizes, the FC‐Chip enables control over cell ...

Interplay of phase boundary anisotropy and electro-autocatalytic surface reactions on the lithium intercalation dynamics in Li$_X$FePO$_4$ platelet-like nanoparticles

, 2018
Experiments on single crystal Li$_X$FePO$_4$ (LFP) nanoparticles indicate rich nonequilibrium phase behavior, such as suppression of phase separation at high lithiation rates, striped patterns of coherent phase boundaries, nucleation by binarysolid ...

Transient and Stable Profiles During Anisotropic Wet Etching of Quartz

Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 2017
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the transient (short-term) and stable (long-term) cross-sectional profiles of elongated trenches formed by anisotropic wet etching on Z-cut quartz. Because all quartz planes parallel (and near-parallel) to the [0001] direction display very low (and dissimilar) etch rates, dramatically different profiles ...

Effective slip over superhydrophobic surfaces in thin channels

, 2008
Superhydrophobic surfaces reduce drag by combining hydrophobicity and roughness to trap gas bubbles in a micro- and nanoscopic texture. Recent work has focused on specific cases, such as striped grooves or arrays of pillars, with limited theoretical ...
