Nanofluids, which have improved thermal conductivity compared to regular lubricants, can assist in the dissipation of heat while cutting materials. A colloidal suspension can be formed …
Particle trapping is a powerful tool for tailoring fluid interfaces, offering unprecedented control over interfacial properties and behaviors. In this review, we delve into the intricate …
Identifying and removing microplastics (MPs) from the environment is a global challenge. This study explores how the colloidal fraction of MPs assemble into distinct 2D patterns at …
Microgels are soft colloidal particles constituted by cross-linked polymer networks with a high potential for applications. In particular, after adsorption at a fluid interface, interfacial …
The interaction of particles with fluid interfaces is ubiquitous in synthetic and natural work, involving two types of interactions: particle–interface interactions (trapping energy) and …
