Mechanical vibrations of pendant liquid droplets (2015)
Journal Article
Temperton, R. H., Smith, M. I., & Sharp, J. S. (2015). Mechanical vibrations of pendant liquid droplets. European Physical Journal E, 38, Article 79. https://doi.org/10.1140/epje/i2015-15079-2

A simple optical deflection technique was used to monitor the vibrations of microlitre pendant droplets of deuterium oxide, formamide, and 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane. Droplets of different volumes of each liquid were suspended from the end of a microli... Read More about Mechanical vibrations of pendant liquid droplets.

Shear banding in drying films of colloidal nanoparticles (2015)
Journal Article
Yang, B., Sharp, J. S., & Smith, M. I. (2015). Shear banding in drying films of colloidal nanoparticles. ACS Nano, 9(4), 4077-4084. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.5b00127

Drying suspensions of colloidal nanoparticles exhibit a variety of interesting strain release mechanisms during film formation. These result in the selection of characteristic length scales during failure processes such as cracking and subsequent del...

3D ToF-SIMS Imaging of Polymer Multilayer Films Using Argon Cluster Sputter Depth Profiling (2015)
Journal Article
Bailey, J., Havelund, R., Shard, A. G., Gilmore, I. S., Alexander, M. R., Sharp, J. S., & Scurr, D. J. (2015). 3D ToF-SIMS Imaging of Polymer Multilayer Films Using Argon Cluster Sputter Depth Profiling. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 7(4), 2654-2659. https://doi.org/10.1021/am507663v

ToF-SIMS imaging with argon cluster sputter depth profiling has provided detailed insight into the three-dimensional (3D) chemical composition of a series of polymer multilayer structures. Depths of more than 15 μm were profiled in these samples whil... Read More about 3D ToF-SIMS Imaging of Polymer Multilayer Films Using Argon Cluster Sputter Depth Profiling.
