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

Complex fluid-fluid interfaces play an important role in a variety of application domains, from
emulsion and foam stability, to thin films in biomedical applications, to coating flow …

Structured liquids are emerging functional soft materials that combine liquid flowability with
solid-like structural stability and spatial organization. Here, we delve into the chemistry and …

Originally regarded as auxiliary additives, nanoparticles have become important
constituents of polyelectrolyte multilayers. They represent the key components to enhance …

Fluid–fluid interfaces, laden with polymers, particles or other surface-active moieties, often
show a rheologically complex response to deformations, in particular when strong lateral …

Emulsions, microemulsions, and foams are dispersions of two immiscible fiuids stabilized by
surface-active species. Emulsions and microemulsions are dispersions usually made with …

Complex interfaces stabilized by proteins, polymers or nanoparticles, have a much richer
dynamics than those stabilized by simple surfactants. By subjecting fluid-fluid interfaces to …

Microcapsules encapsulating payloads are one of the most promising delivery methods. The
mechanical properties of microcapsules often determine their application scenarios. For …

Fluid interfaces can be used as a platform for promoting the direct and spontaneous self-
assembly of colloidal particles, where the driving force is the reduction in interfacial energy …

Oleofoams are dispersions of gas bubbles in a continuous oil phase and can be stabilized
by crystals of fatty acids or waxes adsorbing at the oil-air interface. Because excess crystals …
