Marine Antifouling Behavior of Lubricant-Infused Nanowrinkled Polymeric Surfaces
Published 2018A new family of polymeric, lubricant-infused, nanostructured wrinkled surfaces was designed that effectively retains inert non-toxic silicone oil, upon draining by spin-coating and vigorous shear for two weeks. The wrinkled ...Open AccessArticle -
Soft-Hard Janus Nanoparticles for Polymer Encapsulation of Solid Particulate
Published 2020We demonstrate a scalable continuous feed method for the synthesis of polymer Janus nanoparticles with different composition and with different aspect ratios between lobes, including with one hard cross-linked polystyrene ...Open AccessArticle -
Evaluating medical device and material thrombosis under flow: current and emerging technologies
Published 2020Although blood-contacting medical devices are used widely, blood clot formation (thrombosis) leads to device failure and potentially catastrophic adverse thrombotic events for patients, such as stroke or pulomonary embolism. ...Open AccessArticle -
Premature detonation of an ammonium nitrate emulsion in reactive ground
Published 2015When ammonium nitrate emulsions are used in blast holes containing pyrite, they can exothermally react with pyrite, causing the emulsion to intensively heat and detonate prematurely. Such premature detonations can inflict ...Open AccessArticle -
Enhancing Spontaneous Droplet Motion on Structured Surfaces with Tailored Wedge Design
Published 2020Spontaneous liquid transport has a wide variety of applications, including fog harvesting, microfluidics, and water-oil separation. Understanding of the droplet movement dynamics on structured surfaces is essential ...Open AccessArticle
