Self-assembly of quasi-spherical colloidal particles in two-dimensional (2D) arrangements is
essential for a wide range of applications from optoelectronics to surface engineering, from …

Liquid–fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes
and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in …

This book is the latest edition to the Cambridge Series in Chemical Engineering, a series
dedicated to meeting the needs of professionals and academics in this field. This is an …

This pedagogical overview of liquid crystals is based on lectures for postgraduate students
given at the International Max Planck Research School “Modeling of Soft Matter”. I am …

Micro and nanoparticle adsorption to and assembly by capillarity at fluid–fluid interfaces are
intriguing aspects of soft matter science with broad potential in the directed assembly of …

Young's law predicts that a colloidal sphere in equilibrium with a liquid interface will straddle
the two fluids, its height above the interface defined by an equilibrium contact angle. This …

Particles adsorbed to fluid interfaces are ubiquitous in industry, nature or life. The wide
range of properties arising from the assembly of particles at fluid interface has stimulated an …

Abstract Systems with long-range (LR) forces, for which the interaction potential decays with
the interparticle distance with an exponent smaller than the dimensionality of the embedding …

Colloidal particles confined at liquid interfaces have important applications, for example in
the stabilization of emulsions and foams. Also the self-assembly of particles at interfaces …

Foams are dispersions of bubbles in liquids, often water. They are frequently stabilized by
surfactant or polymer, but like Pickering emulsions, they can be also stabilized solely by …
