Nanofabrication has been utilized to manufacture one-, two-, and three-dimensional
functional nanostructures for applications such as electronics, sensors, and photonic …

Soft and responsive colloids based on polymer hydrogels have moved into the focus of the
colloid community. This review gives a brief overview of the recent literature on the structure …

Based on the current knowledge, a plasma–liquid interface looks and behaves very
differently from its counterpart at a solid surface. Local processes characteristic to most …

To realize carriers for drug delivery, cationic containers are required for anionic guests.
Nevertheless, the toxicity of cationic carriers limits their practical use. In this study, we …

In this research, a three-dimensional model is proposed to simulate the behavior of particle-
covered droplets that contain soluble surfactant. The model includes a full two-way coupling …

The field of soft matter is rapidly growing and pushing the limits of conventional materials
science and engineering. Soft matter refers to materials that are easily deformed by thermal …

We present an acoustofluidic method based on travelling surface acoustic waves (TSAWs)
to induce self-assembly of microparticles inside a microfluidic channel. The particles are …

Opening a way to designing tunable interactions between colloidal particles in rotating
electric and magnetic fields provides rich opportunities both for fundamental studies of …

High-sensitivity capacitive sensing materials require high dielectric permittivity and low
elastic modulus. The development period of polymeric composites was long and costly due …

Tunable interactions between colloidal particles in external conically rotating electric fields
are calculated, while the (vertical) axis of the field rotation is normal to the (horizontal) …
