Microfluidic conformal coating of non-spherical magnetic particles

Microfluidic-based synthesis of non-spherical magnetic hydrogel microparticles.

Spherical and non-spherical magnetic hydrogel particles were synthesized in a microfluidic device containing an embedded UV light reflector. Monodisperse magnetic emulsion droplets were generated in a T-junction and allowed to relax into spheres, disks, and plugs in confining microchannel geometries. Particle morphology was locked-in via UV-initiated photopolymerization. The role of the reflect...

we used dbsa and nano-magnetic for the synthesis of amido alkylnaphtols.

Saltation of Non-Spherical Sand Particles

Saltation is an important geological process and the primary source of atmospheric mineral dust aerosols. Unfortunately, no studies to date have been able to precisely reproduce the saltation process because of the simplified theoretical models used. For example, sand particles in most of the existing wind sand movement models are considered to be spherical, the effects of the sand shape on the...

llenges in packing problems: from spherical to non-spherical particles

HIGHLIGHT Adrian Baule and Hernán A. Makse Fundamental challenges in packing problems: from spherical to non-spherical particles Random packings of objects of a particular shape are ubiquitous in science and engineering. However, such jammed matter states have eluded any systematic theoretical treatment due to the strong positional and orientational correlations involved. In recent years progre...
