Boxes fabricated from plate-stabilized liquid marbles

Abstract

Polyhedral liquid marbles were fabricated using hydrophobic polymer plates in the shape of circle, heart and star as a stabilizer and water as an inner liquid phase. Boxes could be...

pH-Responsive Liquid Marbles Stabilized with Chitosan-Stearic Acid-Conjugated Particles

“…Therefore, the CS-SA particles with diameters of 141 and 196 μm could adsorb onto the LM surface as a monolayer. Regarding the formation of bilayer, the underlying mechanism is under the veil, but there are possibilities that the small amount of water bridged between the particles and/or that the CS-SA particles were physically interlocked between each other and did not fall off from the LM …”

Fabrication of a BOC-Protected 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate Brush and Deprotection of the BOC Group to Control the Surface Hydrophilicity

“…Water tends to form a spherical shape on a homogeneous substrate to minimize the area of the interface. However, when the surface energy is non-uniform, the shape of the water droplet can be manipulated. , It is demonstrated in Figure . Either outside of the character (left) or inside of the character (right) is masked during the acid treatment.…”

Shape design of aqueous bubbles stabilized with millimeter-sized polymer plates

“…To our best knowledge, these are the lowest numbers of particles that have ever been used to stabilize air bubbles. Recently, these kinds of polyhedral morphologies have been also reported in particle-stabilized emulsion 36,37 and liquid marble 33–35 systems. Bare satellite air bubbles with a number-average Heywood diameter of 380 ± 290 μm were observed to adsorb on the surface of the plate in contact with the aqueous phase.…”

“…To this end, the PET plates were surface modified using trichloro(1H,1H,2H,2H-heptadecafluorodecyl)silane, as previously reported (ESI †). [33][34][35] The contact angles of the water droplet on the PET before and after surface modification in air were 73 AE 11 and 111 AE 21, and those of the air bubble in water were 118 AE 21 and 84 AE 11, respectively, indicating successful hydrophobization.…”
