Sulfur liquid marbles submerged in biphasic systems as microreactors for interfacial synthesis

Boxes fabricated from plate-stabilized liquid marbles

“…In that respect, LMs are strikingly different from emulsions and foams, which can be stabilized by solid particles as well as molecular surfactants. Recently, various potential applications of LMs have been proposed in wide research areas: carriers for materials 18,19 , microreactors [20][21][22][23][24][25] , health care products 26, 27 , sensors [28][29][30][31] , accelerometers 32 , cell model 33 and pressuresensitive adhesives 34 , thanks to their encapsulating ability. Until now, (near)spherical particles and their flocs have been generally used as a stabilizer and studies on LMs stabilized with well-defined nonspherical stabilizers monodispersed in shape and size have been limited.…”
