Synopsis of recent research by authors named "David Malotky"
- David Malotky's research primarily focuses on the behavior and formation mechanisms of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs), exploring how fluid dynamics, particularly through microfluidic systems and rheological studies, influence droplet size and distribution.
- His 2016 article highlights the collective Rayleigh-Plateau instability in fluid threads, revealing that interactions between dissimilar fluid threads can lead to locked breakup frequencies and narrowed size distributions, thus impacting the polydispersity of emulsions.
- In his earlier 2006 work, Malotky investigates the rheology and mechanical dispersion techniques of HIPEs, demonstrating how shear deformation contributes to the creation of uniformly small droplets, offering insights into predictive tools for manufacturing and utilizing such emulsions effectively.
