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 …

Polyethylene (PE) has emerged recently as a promising polymer for incorporation in
wearable textiles owing to its high infrared transparency and tuneable visible opacity, which …

Ring formation in an evaporating sessile drop is a hydrodynamic process in which solids
dispersed in the drop are advected to the contact line. After all the liquid evaporates, a ring …

Forming regular textures of an arbitrary size on smooth solid surfaces is the challenge of
future technology to produce new types of optical gratings, optical filters, antireflective …

Stimuli-responsive fusion and fission are widely observed in both bio-organizations and
artificial molecular assemblies. However, the design of a system with structure and property …

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 …

Recent observations of charged colloidal particles trapped at the air-water interface
revealed long-range interparticle attractive forces, not accounted for by the standard theories …

Capillarity can be used to direct anisotropic colloidal particles to precise locations and to
orient them by using interface curvature as an applied field. We show this in experiments in …
