Journal Article
Dunstan, T. S., Das, A. A. K., Starck, P., Stoyanov, S. D., & Paunov, V. N. (2018). Capillary structured suspensions from in situ hydrophobized calcium carbonate particles suspended in a polar liquid media. Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 34(1), 442-452. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.7b03589

© 2017 American Chemical Society. We demonstrate that capillary suspensions can be formed from hydrophilic calcium carbonate particles suspended in a polar continuous media and connected by capillary bridges formed of minute amounts of an immiscible...

Thermally responsive capillary suspensions (2017)
Journal Article
Das, A. A., Dunstan, T. S., Stoyanov, S. D., Starck, P., & Paunov, V. N. (2017). Thermally responsive capillary suspensions. ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 9(50), 44152-44160. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.7b11358

© 2017 American Chemical Society. We demonstrate that stimulus-responsive capillary-structured materials can be formed from hydrophobized calcium carbonate particles suspended in a non-polar phase (silicone oil) and bridged by very small amounts of a...

High internal phase emulsions: Catastrophic phase inversion, stability, and triggered destabilization (2011)
Journal Article
Dunstan, T. S., Fletcher, P. D., & Mashinchi, S. (2012). High internal phase emulsions: Catastrophic phase inversion, stability, and triggered destabilization. Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 28(1), 339-349. https://doi.org/10.1021/la204104m

We have investigated the formation, drop sizes, and stability of emulsions prepared by hand shaking in a closed vessel in which the emulsion is in contact with a single type of surface during its formation. The emulsions undergo catastrophic phase in... Read More about High internal phase emulsions: Catastrophic phase inversion, stability, and triggered destabilization.

Compartmentalization and separation of aqueous reagents in the water droplets of water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions (2011)
Journal Article
Dunstan, T. S., & Fletcher, P. D. I. (2011). Compartmentalization and separation of aqueous reagents in the water droplets of water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions. Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 27(7), 3409-3415. https://doi.org/10.1021/la200058d

We have compartmentalised aqueous reagents and indicator species within the micron-sized water droplets of mixed high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). Mass transport of the reagents across the micron-thickness oil films separating the water droplets...
