Anisotropic spreading of liquid metal on a rough intermetallic surface [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2011 An anisotropic wicking of molten Sn-Pb solder over an intermetallic rough surface has been studied. The phenomenon features preferential spreading and forming of an elliptical spread domain.

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 Vertical and horizontal wickings were studied for jute, a lingo-cellulosic natural fiber, as fiber, yarn, woven fabric, and nonwoven. The effect of yarn parameters (linear density, twist density, and tension), fabric type (plain woven, twill woven, and ...

FormAkademisk - forskningstidsskrift for design og designdidaktikk, 2020 Design methods need to reconsider ways to avoid othering messiness (or what appears to be contradictory or nonsensical) within wicked problem situations, particularly crisis sites. As such, this paper suggests that play frames (defined as Fun Machines) can be utilised as situated strategies that designers can apply to address paradoxes and ...

Comfort related woven fabric transmission properties made of cotton and nylon
Fashion and Textiles, 2022 The interaction of water and air i.e. moisture regain, water vapor transmission, wicking and air permeability with woven textiles are tested to investigate the comfort of woven fabrics made of nylon, cotton, and cotton–nylon mixtures with different yarn ...

Enhanced Laplace Pressures for Functional Surfaces: Wicking, Switchability, and Selectivity
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2022 Wetting functionalities of rough surfaces are largely determined by the Laplace pressure generated across liquid–gas interfaces formed within surface structures.

Wicking through complex interfaces at interlacing yarns.
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2022 HYPOTHESIS Wicking flow in the wale direction of knit fabrics is slowed by capillary pressure minima during the transition at yarn contacts. The characteristic pore structure of yarns leads to an unfavorable free energy evolution and is the cause of ...

Membranes, 2022 The working principle of lateral flow assays, such as the widely used COVID-19 rapid tests, is based on the capillary-driven liquid transport of a sample fluid to a test line using porous polymeric membranes as the conductive medium.
