Optovibrometry: tracking changes in the surface tension and viscosity of multicomponent droplets in real-time (2016)
Journal Article

An instrument was developed for measuring real time changes in the surface tension and viscosity of multicomponent droplets of miscible liquids and other soft materials. Droplets containing glycerol and water were supported on superamphiphobic surfa...

The interplay of crack hopping, delamination and interface failure in drying nanoparticle films (2016)
Journal Article

Films formed through the drying of nanoparticle suspensions release the build-up of strain through a variety of different mechanisms including shear banding, crack formation and delamination. Here we show that important connections exist between thes... Read More about The interplay of crack hopping, delamination and interface failure in drying nanoparticle films.

Rheological properties of viscoelastic drops on superamphiphobic substrates (2016)
Journal Article

The rheological properties of microliter sized drops of polymer solutions were investigated using measurements of their mechanical vibrational response. Drops were suspended on superamphiphobic substrates and vibrated by the application of a short me... Read More about Rheological properties of viscoelastic drops on superamphiphobic substrates.

Watch your step!: a frustrated total internal reflection approach to forensic footwear imaging (2016)
Journal Article

Forensic image retrieval and processing are vital tools in the fight against crime e.g. during fingerprint capture. However, despite recent advances in machine vision technology and image processing techniques (and contrary to the claims of popular f...
