Deionization shock driven by electroconvection in a circular channel by Gu, Zhibo, Xu, Bingrui, Huo, Peng, Rubinstein, Shmuel M, Bazant, Martin Z, Deng, Daosheng

“…This mechanism leads to quantitatively similar dynamics as for deionization shocks in charged porous media, which are driven instead by surface conduction and electro-osmotic flow at micron to nanometer scales. The remarkable generality of deionization shocks under overlimiting current could be used to manipulate ion transport in complex geometries for desalination and water treatment.…”

Size-dependent phase morphologies in LiFePO4 battery particles by Cogswell, Daniel Aaron, Bazant, Martin Z

“…Using a depth-averaged (a-b plane) phase-field model of coherent phase separation driven by Faradaic reactions, we reconcile conflicting experimental observations of diamond-like phase patterns in micron-sized platelets with observations of surface-controlled patterns in nanoparticles. …”

On the importance of fiber curvature to the elastic moduli of electrospun nonwoven fiber meshes by Pai, Chia-Ling, Rutledge, Gregory C., Boyce, Mary Cunningham

“…Nonwoven fiber mats of poly(trimethyl hexamethylene terephthalamide) (PA 6(3)T) with average fiber diameters from 0.1 to 3.6 microns were electrospun from solutions in dimethylformamide and formic acid and their in-plane mechanical response characterized. …”

Analysis and simulation of multiphase hydrodynamics in capillary microseparators by Yang, Lu, Ladosz, Agnieszka, Jensen, Klavs F

“…In addition, the simulations enable quantification of the instantaneous flow rate through each micron-scale capillary microchannel and provide detailed predictions even under very low pressure differences (∼10 Pa), both of which are difficult to achieve experimentally. …”

Stop flow lithography in perfluoropolyether (PFPE) microfluidic channels by Doyle, Patrick S, Bong, Ki Wan, Lee, Jiseok

“…We synthesized particles in both PFPE and PDMS devices under the same SFL conditions and found the difference of particle dimensions was less than a micron. PFPE devices can greatly expand the range of precursor materials that can be processed in SFL because the fluorinated devices are chemically resistant to most organic solvents, an inaccessible class of reagents in PDMS-based devices due to swelling.…”
