Emulsion systems are dynamic and several physical mechanisms can lead to mass transport between droplets (e.g. coalescence, diffusion, micelle-driven). Understanding how oil exchanges between emulsions is also critical to developing applications such as new drug-delivery vehicles and emulsion polymerization processes. Researchers have aimed to fundamentally examine mass transport between...

Molybdenum (Mo) is often alloyed into the steels containing niobium (Nb), in order to enhance the formation of harder microstructures, such as bainite and acicular ferrite, and denser and finer precipitates. However, the effect of Mo on the nano-precipitates formed in the ferrite of Nb steels is still subject to debate, mostly due to its experimentally challenging nature. In addition, direct...
Plasma polymer films have been deposited on planar surfaces for a wide variety of applications, such as controlling cell growth or adding anchor molecules for biosensors. They can however also be deposited onto three dimensional objects, such as tissue engineering scaffolds, biomedical implants or 3D printed devices. Coating three-dimensional objects however is more complex as greater monomer...
Designing microscopic interactions judiciously in the amphiphilic systems with added additives is advantageous in order to design various morphologies. Apart from the biological relevance, ease of formation, and long-term stability, catanionic systems could form various morphologies including vesicles, which are the best alternatives to liposomes and niosomes and are potentially the best ever...
