Controllable curvature from planar polymer sheets in response to light

Soft Matter, 13(12), 2299–2308.

TL;DR: Results from this study show that curvature can be controlled by the distribution and darkness of the ink pattern on the polymer sheet, and utilize the direct and indirect curvature mechanisms to demonstrate the formation and actuation of gripper devices, which represent the potential utility of this approach.

Computers in Biology and Medicine, 84, 247–253.

By: A. Kolanjiyil n, C. Kleinstreuer n & R. Sadikot*

author keywords: Lung; Airflow; Whole lung-airway modeling; Computational fluid-particle dynamics (CF-PD); Particle deposition; Pharmaceutical aerosols; Dry powder inhaler (DPI); Curcumin

Coalescence-Induced Self-Propulsion of Droplets on Superomniphobic Surfaces

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 9(34), 29328–29336.

By: H. Vahabi, W. Wang, S. Davies, J. Mabry* & A. Kota*

author keywords: inertial-capillary; visco-capillary; superomniphobic; coalescence; jumping droplet
TL;DR: This work utilized superomniphobic surfaces to systematically investigate the different regimes of coalescence-induced self-propulsion of liquid droplets with a wide range of droplet radii, viscosities, and surface tensions to indicate that the nondimensional jumping velocity Vj* is nearly constant in the inertial-capillary regime and decreases in the visco- capillary regime as the Ohnesorge number Oh increases, in agreement with prior work.
