The oscillations of free-falling drops with size range from pl to μl have been used to measure the transient shear viscosity and the dynamic surface tension of shear-thinning fluids on the timescale of 10−5–10−2 s. The method is first validated with... Read More about Determination of dynamic surface tension and viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids from drop oscillations.

A ring stain is often an undesirable consequence of droplet drying. Particles inside evaporating droplets with a pinned contact line are transported toward the periphery by radial flow. In this paper, we demonstrate how suspensions of laponite can be... Read More about Control of the Particle Distribution in Inkjet Printing through an Evaporation-Driven Sol-Gel Transition.
