Both oral and poster senior design presentations went well this year. Mercury Marine sponsored a project entitled Polymer Filament for Evaporative Pattern Prototyping that was advised by Prof. Drelich. Four MSE seniors including Alex Ball, Kristen Bull, Simon Eddy and … Continue reading
Spreading Force
Spontaneous spreading of a droplet on a solid surface is poorly understood from a macroscopic down to a molecular level. In our new publication entitled “Spontaneous Spreading of a Droplet: The Role of Solid Continuity and Advancing Contact Angle” and … Continue reading
Review on Zn Bioalloys
During the last few years, Zn alloys have been explored by the biomedical community as potential materials for bioabsorbable vascular stents due to their tolerable corrosion rates and tunable mechanical properties. In the new review coming from our research team … Continue reading
