Summary
With support from the Chemical Measurement and Imaging Program in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Evan Williams of the University of California, Berkeley, with his group, will investigate the chemistry and physics of charged droplets and the chemistry that occurs within evaporating droplets. Charged water droplets are ubiquitous in the environment, where they are generated by waves, waterfalls, and in thunderclouds, and have significant importance in industrial processes, including protective coatings, microencapsulation to protect pharmaceutical compounds, and generation of nanoparticle
