Measurement of liquid properties by the observation of micro droplet emitted by inkjet

Yamada T., Sakai K., Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, JP

The application of inkjet printing to industrial processes such as microfabrication, bioengineering is attracting great attention these days. These processes involve large shear deformation of micro-scale and complex liquid, therefore, the importance to measure properties [...]

pH-responsive self assemblies for “smart surface coatings”

Baquey G., Sakai K., Perrier S., Biggs S., Chamelic Ltd, UK

Over the last few years, adsorption of polyelectrolytes at solid/liquid interfaces has gained in popularity due to their potential applications for drug delivery, for the preparation of nanosized materials and for the fabrication of smart [...]

A New Route to the Formation of Nanoporous Capsules using Block Copolymer Thin Films & Colloids

Mantzana P., Sakai K., Biggs S., University of Leeds, UK

The objective of this project is the preparation of novel porous nanocapsules. Spherical colloidal particles, such as melamine formaldehyde (MF), are coated with a mixture of a multilayer of diblock copolymers/micelles and polymer coated Au [...]
