Suggested palette of box colours – for use if required and to be sized as required Diffractive feature formation on metal Marcus Ardron • Marangoni effect: surface tension due to thermal gradient Where: σ = surface tension h = length in temp. grad. η = viscosity α = thermal diffusivity ΔT = temp. difference Single feature made on polished stainless steel surface Thermo-capillary motion: buoyancy, density changes, thermal currents The quantity that must be harnessed Chemi-capillary motion: diffusion across surface, chemical reactions 304 stainless steel processed in CO2 Periodic structure formed in plated surface Balandin et al.
