Functional particles are prepared directly by heterogeneous polymerization, eg emulsion
polymerization and dispersion polymerization. Modification of existing particles is another …

This article is devoted to an overview, comparison and discussion of recent results (both
theoretical and experimental) about lateral capillary forces. They appear when the contact of …

The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

This work is devotedto a special kind of capillary interaction, which differs from the common
lateral capillary forces between floating particles. It appears between particles protruding …

Regular arrays of topologically complex, millimeter-scale objects were prepared by self-
assembly, with the shapes of the assembling objects and the wettability of their surfaces …

We report on the influence of morphological disorder, arising from bundling of nanotubes
(NTs) and microcracks in films of oriented TiO2 NT arrays, on charge transport and …

A monolayer of ultrathin sheets of highly hydrophobic graphene nanosheets was prepared
on a large area substrate via self-assembly at the liquid− liquid interface. Driven by the …

Most of the commonly used microgels (MGs) are hydrophilic and tend to form oil-in-water
emulsions. In this review, we discuss the function of MGs at the droplet interface in order to …

A colloidal particle adsorbed at a fluid interface could have an undulated, or irregular contact
line in the presence of surface roughness and/or chemical inhomogeneity. The contact-line …

A colloidal system represents a multiphase (heterogeneous) system, in which at least one of
the phases exists in the form of very small particles: typically smaller than 1 µm but still much …
