Inkjet printing is recognised as an efficient method for direct deposition of functional
materials on flexible substrates in predesigned patterns owing to simple processing, low …

'Capillary forces' are interactions between particles mediated by fluid interfaces. Recent
advances in this field have been achieved by experiments and theory on lateral capillary …

When a drop of liquid dries on a solid surface, its suspended particulate matter is deposited
in ring-like fashion. This phenomenon, known as the coffee-ring effect,,, is familiar to anyone …

The formation of patterns after the evaporation of colloidal droplets deposited on a solid
surface is an everyday natural phenomenon. During the past two decades, this topic has …

Micro and nanoparticle adsorption to and assembly by capillarity at fluid–fluid interfaces are
intriguing aspects of soft matter science with broad potential in the directed assembly of …

We report on the behavior of micron-sized prolate ellipsoids trapped at an oil-water
interface. The particles experience strong, anisotropic, and long-ranged attractive capillary …

Particles adsorbed to fluid interfaces are ubiquitous in industry, nature or life. The wide
range of properties arising from the assembly of particles at fluid interface has stimulated an …

Nanomedicine is the process of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease and traumatic
injury, of relieving pain, and of preserving and improving human health, using molecular …

In this article we review the use of near-field photonics for trapping, transport and handling of
nanomaterials. While the advantages of traditional optical tweezing are well known at the …

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 …
