It's like the universe is telling me not to write this thesis... #overleafdown

[Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD) @FluidsLeeds]

Upcoming LIFD colloquium 15th Nov 4-5.30pm at Leeds on the science of paper marbling - a seminar and workshop where you get to have a go at marbling! Email us at [email protected] to book your place.

By varying the solvent evaporation rate, we drastically change the topography of the chemically identical crystallised waxes, creating low-cost and adaptable hydrophobic coatings.

[Francis Dent @FJDent]

The chemical composition and surface topography determine the interfacial wetting behaviour of surfaces. In our new study, we explore how to vary the topography of identical wax coatings via solvent evaporation, creating tuneable regimes of sticky and slippery behaviour.

After attending #ismc2023 in Osaka, Japan, I have spent the last two weeks fabricating samples at Tohoku University. Thanks to @YabuLaboratory for hosting me and to @FluidsLeeds for the funding - looking forward to seeing where this new collaboration takes us!

[藪研究室/Yabu Laboratory @YabuLaboratory]

As a collaboration with Khodaparast Lab@U. Leeds, UK, Mr. Francis Dent visited our lab and leaned how to fabricate honeycomb films these two weeks. Welcome and we hope our collaboration will go well!

Day 2🇯🇵

#ISMC2023 #ソフトマター国際会議
#softmatter

[Briony Thomas @DrBrionyThomas]

An epic day one of #IngeniousAward activity with @NiftyFoxCreativ and @d_yellowlees.

Excited for day two — particularly props (what will come out of the labs?!) and bringing in our @northernballet 🩰 collaborators tomorrow.

[The Bragg Centre and Royce at Leeds @BraggRoyceLeeds]

Back to the School of Mechanical Engineering with Francis Dent: From inspiration to innovation: the design and fabrication of scalable biomimetic surfaces

[Geoff Wake 👇 @geoffwake1]

In today’s @guardian review of new book by @DrEugeniaCheng “Is Maths even real”
Definitely worth a read (the book).

[Francis Dent @FJDent]

Check out our latest publication exploring phase change reversibility for scalable and diverse micropattern fabrication 👇

[Soft Matter @softmatter]

New #openaccess article, Exploiting breath figure reversibility for in situ pattern modulation and hierarchical design led by Francis J. Dent @FJDent, David Harbottle, Nicholas J. Warren and Sepideh Khodaparast @SKFluidLab @FluidsLeeds https://t.co/sIJZB4eyI2

Sleeping beauties: the evolutionary innovations that wait millions of years to come good https://t.co/18wsbSarjB

[Francis Dent @FJDent]

The breath figure method employs self-assembled #condensation droplets as dynamic templates for the #surfacepatterning of polymer films. By exploiting the reversibility of the phase change processes, we achieve in situ control towards generating diverse patterns.

[Francis Dent @FJDent]

Pleased to share our newest publication on dynamic breath figure templating in @softmatter. Check out the #openaccess article here 👇
