Deposition morphologies of inkjet-printed colloidal drops are examined under various drying conditions, particle volume fractions, and particle sizes. Concentric multi-rings, radial spokes, spider web, foam, and island-like depositions are observed as a result of the competition between the receding contact line and particle deposition during drop drying. Experimentally measured multi-ring spac...

The mechanism of droplet drying is a widely concerned fundamental issue since controlling the deposition morphology of droplet has significant influence on printing, biology pattern, self-assembling and other solution-based devices fabrication. Here we reveal a striking different kinetics-controlled deposition regime beyond the ubiquitous coffee-ring effect that suspended particles tend to kine...

To improve understanding of phosphorus (P) retention processes in small constructed wetlands (CWs), we analysed variations in sediment deposition and accumulation in four CWs on clay soils in east-central Sweden. Sediment deposition (in traps) generally exceeded the total suspended solids (TSS) load suggesting that resuspension and wetland base erosion were important. This was confirmed by quan...

In this paper, we review the state of the art of a simple, easily controlled convective assembly technique for rapid deposition of structured micrond nano-particle coatings. The advantages afforded by this method are improved process efficiency and reduced material consumption relative o standard dipcoating techniques. Structured coatings larger than a few square centimeters are deposited in mi...

A number of studies have focused on the capacity of urban trees and shrubs to serve as efficient biological filters to mitigate air pollution. In this study, five different tree species were assessed for this function. Kerria japonica, Sophora japonica, Philadelphus pekinensis, Gleditsia sinensis, and Prunus persica 'Atropurpurea' were tested in a deposition chamber using (NH4)2SO4 particles. W...

Gas phase PCB dry deposition and concentration samples were collected simultaneously between July 2004 and May 2005 at a suburban site in Bursa, Turkey. A modified water surface sampler (WSS) was employed to collect gas phase fluxes while a high-volume air sampler (HVAS) was used for concentration samples. The WSS was able to collect both particle and gas phase PCB deposition samples. The colle...

Preliminary Studies of the Influence of Forces and Kinetics on Interfacial Colloidal Assembly. (August 2004) Gregory Fernandes, B.E., Mumbai University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr.Michael Bevan In this research we illustrate how particle-particle and particle-substrate interactions affect structure in interfacial colloidal systems. A number of tools are used to quantify characteristics of d...

Teflon chambers are ubiquitous in studies of atmospheric chemistry. Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation can be underestimated, owing to deposition of SOAforming vapors to the chamber wall. We present here an experimental protocol and a model framework to constrain the vapor–wall interactions in Teflon chambers. We measured the wall deposition rates of 25 oxidized organic compounds generat...

The past half century has seen an explosive growth of the discipline that is characterized by the deposition of localized high energy densities in solid matter, by means of energetic ions produced e.g. in particle accelerators. First the fundamentals of Ion-Solid Interaction are outlined. A brief overview is given about the basic energy transfer mechanisms and the consequences of ion impact int...
