Droplets covered by adsorbed particles are used in a wide range of research studies and applications, including stabilising emulsions used in the food or cosmetic industries, and fabricating new materials, such as microcapsules or multi-cavity structures. Pickering emulsions are commonly

Understanding of the behavior of an individual droplet suspended in a liquid and subjected to a stress is important for studying and designing more complex systems, such as emulsions. Here, we present an experimental study of the behavior of a
Electrically insulating objects immersed in a weakly conducting liquid may Quincke rotate when subjected to an electric field. Experimental and theoretical investigations of this type of electrorotation typically concern rigid particles and particle-free droplets. This work provides the basic features
Materials that transform shapes responding to external stimuli can bring unprecedented innovations to soft matter physics, soft robotics, wearable electronics, and architecture. As most conventional soft actuation technologies induce large deformations only in a preprogrammed manner at designated locations, the
Active, tunable, and reversible opening and closing of particle shells on droplets may facilitate chemical reactions in droplets and enable various small-scale laboratory operations, including online detection, measurement, and adjustment of droplet liquid. Manipulating various types of particle shells in
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
