Abstract:Liquid marbles (LMs) can be prepared
by adsorption of
hydrophobic
particles at the air–liquid interface of a water droplet. LMs
have been studied for their application as microreaction vessels.
However, their opaqueness poses challenges for internal observation.
Liquid plasticines (LPs), akin to LMs, can be prepared by the adsorption
of hydrophobic particles with a diameter of 50 nm or less, at the
air–liquid interface of a water droplet. Unlike LMs, LPs are
transparent, allowing for internal observation, thus… Show more
Responsiveness to stimuli is important in daily life: natural biological activity is governed by continuous stimulus responsiveness. The design of stimuli-responsive materials is required for the development of advanced sensing...

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.
