This project investigates a novel mechanism for creating complex surface patterns through a specific crystallization process involving zinc oxide nanofluids. The goal is to understand the parameters influencing this mechanism and explore its potential for antimicrobial applications.
A preliminary study by the applicant (Dr.
Hua Wu (HW)) has proposed a novel dissolution-reaction-crystallisation mediated evaporation controlled self-assembly (DRC-ECSA) mechanism, from surprising and unprecedented observations of complex residual surface patterns with hierarchical architecture self-assembled upon evaporative drying of a ZnO nanofluid droplet.
This mechanism is very different from that previously established for the coffee ring effect and other ECSA processes, and the morphologica…
