Bistable Wetting States on a Smooth Surface

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Droplets on non‐textured surfaces typically exhibit a monostable wetting state. Here, we show that droplets can exhibit bistability even without surface texture. We investigate water droplets on a smooth substrate immersed in oil. We find that molecular modulation causes the droplet states to bifurcate into either a sticking or a repellent state ...

Influence of Carbon Nanoparticles on Electrically Induced Wear of Grease‐Lubricated Steels

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
When an electric current enters a pair of rubbing surfaces, enormous damage takes place. In this research, how such damage occurs in the presence of protective grease and the mitigation with added carbon nanoparticles, were investigated. It was discovered that those particles regulate transport and interfacial electrical stability of the grease ...

Topological Point Defects in SmC* Liquid Crystals Under Mechanical Disturbance

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Tangetial air jet shear inducess island formation and nucleates topological point defects in uniform SmC films. Island bounded by edge dislocation loops shrink and transform into isolated point defects under continued shear. Mechanical perturbatio provides a controllable route for defect engineering in smectric liquid crystal thin films.

Hybrid Magnetoactive Soft Elastomers: Material Development Toward Application in Diaphragm Pumps

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hybrid magnetoactive soft elastomeric membranes are developed by combining two different types of magnetic particles. The membranes exhibit distinct mechanical, magnetic and thermal properties owing to the unique characteristics of the two magnetic particles.
