The Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, through which monolayers are transferred from the
air/water interface onto a solid substrate, was the first method to allow for the controlled …

Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) has been proven to be a
powerful research tool to investigate in situ interactions between nanoparticles and different …

With the depletion of conventional oil resources, waxy crude oil has become a focus of
development. Wax deposition is prone to occur in crude oil at low temperatures, and can …

We review the dynamics of particle laden interfaces, both particle monolayers and particle+
surfactant monolayers. We also discuss the use of the Brownian motion of microparticles …

Langmuir monolayers at the air/water interface have been used for decades to mimic cell
membranes in attempts to determine the mechanisms behind the physiological action of …

Pulmonary surfactant is a membrane-based lipid-protein system essential for the process of
breathing, which coats and stabilizes the whole respiratory surface and possesses …

Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) is a powerful technique that allows for real-time
visualization of Langmuir monolayers. The lateral organization of these films can be …

Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding field that has very promising applications that will
improve industry, medicine, and consumer products. However, despite the growing …

With the increasing industrial and biomedical applications of engineered nanomaterials
(ENMs), concerns have been raised regarding the increased risk of exposure. Exposure to …

Fluid interfaces, ie the boundary layer of two liquids or a liquid and a gas, play a vital role in
physiological processes as diverse as visual perception, oral health and taste, lipid …
