Structured liquids are emerging functional soft materials that combine liquid flowability with
solid-like structural stability and spatial organization. Here, we delve into the chemistry and …

The functionality of liquid–liquid interfaces formed between two immiscible electrolyte
solutions (ITIES) can be markedly enhanced by modification with supramolecular …

In recent decades, liquid interfaces have emerged as one of the most efficient platforms for
creating unified layouts ranging from two-dimensional films to three-dimensional structures …

Self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles has been used to prepare hundreds of different
colloidal crystals, but almost invariably with the restriction that the particles must be densely …

Recently, there has been a drive to design and develop fully tunable metamaterials for
applications ranging from new classes of sensors to superlenses among others. Although …

Self-assembly at water–oil interfaces has been shown to be a cheap, convenient and
efficient route to obtain densely packed layers of plasmonic nanoparticles which have small …

The liquid–liquid interface provides a molecularly sharp, defect-free focal plane for the
assembly of solid materials. In this article we discuss the various materials which have been …

Two-dimensional metal nanoparticle arrays are normally constructed at liquid–oil interfaces
by modifying the surfaces of the constituent nanoparticles so that they self-assemble. Here …

In the last decades, nanoparticles (NPs) have been assembled into clusters, low-
dimensional superstructures, crystallites, and bulk materials. Typically, the self-assembly …
