When a hydrophobic powder encapsulates a liquid drop, it forms a liquid marble which is non-wetting and behaves as a micro-reservoir of the liquid able to move without any leakage. In this work, we successfully prepared liquid marbles by encapsulatin... Read More about Liquid marbles stabilized by graphite particles from aqueous surfactant solutions.
