Feng, Lin, Chen, Ming, Zheng, Fei, Niu, Meng-Si, Zhang, Xuehua, Hao, Xiao-Tao
A novel nanocomposite of P3HT and Ag nanoparticles (Ag-P3HT) has been synthesized by laser ablation. The fluorescence wavelength of the nanocomposite can be tuned by varying the ablation duration. The steady-state emission maximum at 580 nm for pristine P3HT shows significant blueshift to...

de la Cruz, Ricardo Arturo Lopez, Diddens, Christian, Zhang, Xuehua, Lohse, Detlef
The dissolution or growth of a droplet in a host liquid is an important part of processes like chemical extraction, chromatography, or emulsification. In this work we look at the dissolution of a pair of vertically aligned droplets immersed in water, both experimentally and numerically. The...

Surface nanobubbles are experimentally known to survive for days at hydrophobic surfaces immersed in gas-oversaturated water. This is different from bulk nanobubbles, which are pressed out by the Laplace pressure against any gas oversaturation and dissolve in submilliseconds, as derived by...

The assembly of colloidal particles from evaporating suspension drops is seen as a versatile route for the fabrication of supraparticles for various applications. However, drop contact line pining leads to uncontrolled shapes of the emerging supraparticles, hindering this technique. Here we...
