Interfacial stability and shape change of anisotropic endoskeleton droplets.
The delivery of suspended active ingredients to a surface is a central function of numerous commercial cosmetic, drug, and agricultural formulations. Many products use liquid droplets as a delivery vehicle but, because interfacial tension keeps droplets spherical, these materials cannot exploit the benefits of anisotropic shape and shape change offered by solid colloids. In this work, individua...
متن کاملDirect visual observation of thermal capillary waves.
We studied the free fluid-fluid interface in a phase-separated colloid-polymer dispersion with laser scanning confocal microscopy and directly observed thermally induced capillary waves at the interface in real space. Experimental results for static and dynamic correlation functions validate the capillary wave model down to almost the particle level. The ultralow interfacial tension, the capill...
متن کاملAnisotropic Superattenuation of Capillary Waves on Driven Glass Interfaces.
Metrological atomic force microscopy measurements are performed on the silica glass interfaces of photonic band-gap fibers and hollow capillaries. The freezing of attenuated out-of-equilibrium capillary waves during the drawing process is shown to result in a reduced surface roughness. The roughness attenuation with respect to the expected thermodynamical limit is determined to vary with the dr...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of anisotropic tethered nanoparticle shape amphiphiles
The varied and exotic shapes of new nanoscale organic and inorganic building blocks provide new opportunities to engineer materials possessing specific functionality and physical properties dictated by the unique packings of these particles. We briefly review some of the current strategies for inducing the self-assembly of these building blocks focusing on one strategy in particular—the attachm...
متن کاملThermal capillary waves relaxing on atomically thin liquid films
Atomistic simulations are used to investigate the relaxation dynamics of thermal capillary waves on thin flat liquid films. Short Lennard-Jones polymers n=2, 4, and 8 model the liquid in films of thickness 6 to 96 , where is the Lennard-Jones atomic length-scale parameter. Assuming no-slip boundary conditions on the solid wall and constant surface tension and viscosity, the standard continuum m...
