Abstract

Read online

Drying liquid foams can be used as a platform for bottom-up assembly of liquid-mediated materials, but there have been only a few utilizations to date due to the challenges in controlling fluidity. Bae et al. use a microfluidic approach to precisely control liquid foams for micro/nanoscale patterning.
