Slower kinetics, e.g. solder droplet spreading on flat surfaces, may be affected by subsidiary chemical processes such as reaction.
Chondrocytes, being naturally round, may have been adversely affected by their adoption of a flat morphology when attached to and spread on the flat and honeycomb films.
To analyze which nanoporous surface promoted a greater cell spreading area, the area was measured using ImageJ, normalized against cell spreading area on flat surfaces, and expressed as cell spreading area.
For contacting particles spread on a flat surface this requires delineation of particle boundaries through shape-based image segmentation.
PSu/PANI nanocomposite solution was then uniformly spread on a flat glass surface using a casting Gardner knife (Filmographe: Doctor Blade 360099003) of 0.25 ± 0.02 mm thickness.
Test simulations include axisymmetric displacement flow in a tube and droplet spreading on a flat surface.
In addition, we have investigated the physical mechanisms that drive terraced lubricant spreading on a flat substrate.
The dynamic behaviors of moving contact lines were validated by simulating the droplet spreading on a flat substrate, and we compared the numerical results against theoretical predictions and previous experimental observations.
More recent progresses have been made in modeling curved biological membranes spreading on a flat substrate mediated by binder diffusion [32], [33], as well as receptor-mediated cellular uptake and release of viruses or nanoparticles [34].
Edmund Wilson seems as unlikely a picnicker as F.D.R., but for 70 years he regularly spread out a blanket on Flat Rock on the Sugar River, which ran behind his house in Talcottville in upstate New York.
