The colloidal domain is characterized by the dimensions of its constituents in the range from
several nanometers to micrometers. Often, these individual entities are organized in …

Generally, analytical methods demand both selective and sensitive recognition of the target
analyte. Natural antibodies, receptors, or enzymes have been utilized to meet these …

Utilizing colloidal particles for the assembly of the shell of nano-and microcapsules holds
great promise for the tailor-made design of new functional materials. Increasing research …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes aim to recover trapped oil left in reservoirs after
primary and secondary recovery methods. New materials and additives are needed to make …

Liquid–fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes
and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in …

Nanoparticle self-assembly at fluid–fluid interfaces has been traditionally exploited in
emulsification, encapsulation and oil recovery, and more recently in emerging applications …

Responsive microgels are deformable submicrometer cross-linked polymeric hydrogel
particles that are used as a novel class of emulsion stabilizers. Their flexibility and the …

Gold nanoparticle (Au NP) mirrors, which exhibit both high reflectance and electrical
conductance, were self-assembled at a [heptane+ 1, 2-dichloroethane]/water liquid/liquid …

Nanoparticle attachment at a fluid interface is a process that often takes place concurrently
with nanoparticle aggregation in the bulk of the suspension. Here we investigate …

The encapsulation of a rigid core within a soft polymeric shell allows obtaining composite
colloidal particles that retain functional properties, eg, optical or mechanical. At the same …
