Paper on the slip behavior of DNA solution is published in Biomicrofluidis
In this paper, we investigate the slip behavior of an entangled DNA solution at a molecular scale using a confocal microscope coupled to a microfluidic device. Congrats!

Microscopic origin of wall slip during flow of an entangled DNA solution in microfluidics: Flow induced chain stretching versus chain desorption Despite the relevance and importance of slip, a fundamental understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of wall slip in polymer flow is still missing. In this work, we investigate the slip behavior of an entangled DNA solution at a molecular scale using a confocal microscope coupled to a mi...

Busy days for Durgesh Kawale, PhD DEF on 6/Sept, join us @ 14:30-16:00 ;)

Dayinta and Lea’s paper has been published in Advances in Colloid and Interface Science. In this article, we focus on the effects of pulsed electric fields on lipid vesicles ranging from giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) to small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs), from both fundamental and applicative perspectives. Congrats to Dayinta and Lea!

Shaurya and Aswin’s paper on unraveling the mechanism of “Neck" formation in Extensional Flow of Polymer is Published in Macromolecules.
In this paper, Shaurya and Aswin study and describe the conformation of polymer molecules during thinning and necking of polymeric droplets in an extensional flow provided by using microfluidics. We find that the individual polymer molecules suddenly stretch from their coiled conformation at the onset of necking. Congrats to Shaurya and Aswin for a very nice paper!
