Infos

Adopting an integrated approach, this book covers experiments, theory, and emerging applications.
In the first part surfaces are described that change from flat to either a random corrugated or to a well-structured structure, while the second part deals with those surface structures integrated in the coating surface where the structures change their shape or dimension when addressed by an external trigger. A variety of materials are addressed, including liquid crystal polymers, hydrogels, hard acrylates, and soft silicones. The whole is rounded off by a discussion of various applications, including surface controlled flows in microfluidic systems.
Of interest to chemists and engineers, researchers in industry and academia, as well as those working in the paint industry and hydrodynamics.

Autor

Danqing Liu studied at the University of Electronic Science & Technology in Sichuan, China, where she received her bachelor's degree in 2006. In 2008, she received her master's degree in electronic engineering from Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Her Ph.D. study of responsive polymers was conducted at Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, where she graduated in 2013 and continued with a postdoctoral position with the focus on surface dynamics. Dr. Liu has around 20 publications in important peer reviewed journals and she is recipient of a Dutch national 4TU grant and Veni grant to proceed her research within the Netherlands. Dirk J. Broer is a polymer chemist and specialized in polymer structuring and self-organizing polymer networks. He worked for more than 30 years at Philips Research in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. He was a senior research fellow and vice president at the Philips Research Laboratories specializing in biomedical devices and applications of polymeric materials. In parallel, he was appointed as part-time professor (1996) and as full professor (2010) at the Eindhoven University of Technology. He has authored more than 250 scientific publications and holds 120 patents. Furthermore, he is a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).
