Emulsions are widely used in pharmaceutics for the encapsulation, solubilization,
entrapment, and controlled delivery of active ingredients. In order to answer the increasing …

Surfactants are an essential part of the droplet-based microfluidic technology. They are
involved in the stabilization of droplet interfaces, in the biocompatibility of the system and in …

The aggregation of proteins is of fundamental relevance in a number of daily phenomena,
as important and diverse as blood coagulation, medical diseases, or cooking an egg in the …

Hypothesis The structural modification of natural emulsifiers may greatly impact their
interfacial behaviours and bulk properties. The relationship between the microscopic …

In the early 20th century, Pickering and Ramsden revealed that solid particles could be
utilized as emulsion stabilizers. Later, it was shown that particles can be used to aid in …

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 …

The response of interfacial layers to deformations in size and shape depends on their
composition. The corresponding main mechanical quantities are elasticity and viscosity of …

Gallium and its alloys react with oxygen to form a native oxide that encapsulates the liquid
metal with a solid “skin”. The viscoelasticity of this skin is leveraged in applications such as …

Electrospun polymer nanofibers are gaining increasing importance in tissue engineering,
wound dressing and drug delivery. Here, we present a thorough rheological study of …

Fluid–fluid interfaces, laden with polymers, particles or other surface-active moieties, often
show a rheologically complex response to deformations, in particular when strong lateral …
