Abstract:The interface formed between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) is a highly reproducible, defect-free surface that allows the assembly of nanometer-sized objects. Their adsorption at the liquid-liquid interface is governed by their dimensions, zeta potential, wettability and the interfacial tension. The interest for the use of silica nanomaterials at the ITIES is due to their favourable adsorption kinetics and to their rich surface chemistry that can provide selectivity.
At first, we f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
