This article describes the development of a mathematical model of the reverse roll coating of a thin film for an incompressible non-isothermal magnetohydrodynamics $\left(MHD\right)$ viscoplastic fluid as it passes through a small gap between two rolls rotating r...

The non-isothermal couple stress fluid inside a reverse roll coating geometry is considered. The slip condition is considered at the surfaces of the rolls. To develop the flow equations, the mathematical modelling is performed using conservation of m...

This article presents a mathematical model and theoretical analysis of coating of a thin film of non-Newtonian polymers as they travel through a small space between two reverse-rotating rolls. The dimensionless forms of the governing equations are si...

The integration of platelet-shaped montmorillonite particles to improve the oxygen barrier of polyvinyl-alcohol-based barrier layers is state-of-the-art, but research on roll-to-roll coatings of such composite barrier lacquers has not been widely pub...

Printing electronics directly onto fabric to create e-textiles is a promising technology, but it is currently limited by the achievable printing resolution. The suitability of a bespoke reverse-offset printing system for use in printed e-textile devi...

Climacteric fruits are harvested before they are ripened to avoid adverse damages during transport. The unripe fruits can undergo ripening processes associated with rind color changes on exposure to ethanol vapors. Although rind coloration is a commo...

For the next generation of handling systems, reversible adhesion enabled by micropatterned dry adhesives exhibits high potential. The versatility of polymeric micropatterns in handling objects made from various materials has been demonstrated by seve...

Field surveys were conducted in Greek olive orchards from 2017 to 2020 to collect information on the sanitary status of the trees. Using a high-throughput sequencing approach, viral sequences were identified in total RNA extracts from several trees a...

We aimed to incorporate Thymbra capitata essential oil (TCEO), a potent antimicrobial natural product against bacterial vaginosis (BV)-related bacteria, in a suitable drug delivery system. We used vaginal sheets as dosage form to promote immediate re...

Ti–6Al–4V alloy is widely used in aerospace and other high-performance engineering components, but its service reliability is often constrained by surface-initiated fatigue, fretting damage, wear, and corrosion. Ultrasonic surface rolling...
