Four results associated with the diffuse-interface model (DIM) for contact lines are reported in this paper. First, a boundary condition is derived, which states that the fluid near a solid wall must have a certain density $\rho_{0}$…
Droplets coalescing on a superhydrophobic surface exhibit coalescence-induced droplet jumping. However, water vapor condensing on a superhydrophobic surface can result in simultaneous formation of condensate droplets with two distinct…
Charged colloidal dispersions make up the basis of a broad range of industrial and commercial products, from paints to coatings and additives in cosmetics. During drying, an initially liquid dispersion of such particles is slowly…
We use large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of a simple glass-forming system to investigate how its liquid-gas phase separation kinetics depends on temperature. A shallow quench leads to a fully demixed liquid-gas system whereas a…
In recent decades novel solid substrates have been designed which change their wettability in response to light or an electrostatic field. Here, we investigate a droplet on substrates with oscillating uniform wettability by varying minimium…
We computed the self-organisation process of a monodisperse collection of spherical micrometric particles trapped in a two-dimensional (2D) thin liquid film isothermally dried on a chemically inert substrate. The substrate is either flat or…
Lithium doped sodium niobate is an ecofriendly piezoelectric material that exhibits a variety of structural phase transitions with composition and temperature. We have investigated the phase stabilities of an important composition…
Vaporization of liquid droplets containing particles has been studied extensively for its applications in combustion, thermal coating, ink-jet printing, spray cooling, drug delivery, and surface patterning. Droplets containing solid…
It is shown that structuring at the microlevel, a previously not described in detail phenomenon, is the intrinsic property of water and aqueous solutions. At room conditions water (including "ultrapure" one) and aqueous solutions are…
We studied the morphology of linear particle deposits obtained by inkjet-printing of silica nanoparticle suspension in drying condition where contact line depinning occurs. We show that this evaporation mode can be obtained by adjusting the…
At low temperatures proteins exist in a glassy state, a state which has no conformational flexibility and shows no biological functions. In a hydrated protein, at and above 220 K, this flexibility is restored and the protein is able to…
Substrate wettability alteration induced control over crack formation process in thin colloidal films has been addressed in the present study. Colloidal nanosuspension (53nm, mean particle diameter) droplets have been subjected to natural…

Watercolor or aquarelle is one of the oldest painting methods in which pigments suspended in an aqueous liquid are deposited over a substrate, typically an absorbing material such as paper. The physical processes which lead to pattern…
In this work we investigate influence of substrate temperature on the surface morphology for substrate coverage below one monolayer. The model of film growth is based on random deposition enriched by limited surface diffusion. Also…
We consider films and filaments of nanoscale thickness on thermally conductive substrates exposed to external heating. Particular focus is on metal films exposed to laser irradiation. Due to short length scales involved, the absorption of…
If confocal microscopy is an ubiquitous tool in life science, its applications in chemistry and materials science are still, in comparison, very limited. Of particular interest in these domains is the use of confocal microscopy to…
