Preparation and attachment of liquid-infused porous supra-particles to liquid interfaces (2016)
Journal Article
Al-Shehri, H., Horozov, T. S., & Paunov, V. N. (2016). Preparation and attachment of liquid-infused porous supra-particles to liquid interfaces. Soft matter, 12(40), 8375-8387. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6sm01651k

© 2016 The Royal Society of Chemistry. We prepared model porous composite supra-particles and investigated the effect of the initial infused fluid phase on their attachment at the liquid-fluid interface. We used a simple method for fabrication of mil... Read More about Preparation and attachment of liquid-infused porous supra-particles to liquid interfaces.

Attachment of composite porous supra-particles to air–water and oil–water interfaces: theory and experiment (2016)
Journal Article
Paunov, V. N., Al-Shehri, H., & Horozov, T. S. (2016). Attachment of composite porous supra-particles to air–water and oil–water interfaces: theory and experiment. Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP, 18(38), 26495-26508. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6cp05453f

We developed and tested a theoretical model for the attachment of fluid-infused porous supra-particles to a fluid–liquid interface. We considered the wetting behaviour of agglomerated clusters of particles, typical of powdered materials dispersed in...

Synthesis and characterization of biodegradable lignin nanoparticles with tunable surface properties (2016)
Journal Article
Richter, A. P., Bharti, B., Armstrong, H. B., Brown, J. S., Plemmons, D., Paunov, V. N., Stoyanov, S. D., & Velev, O. D. (2016). Synthesis and characterization of biodegradable lignin nanoparticles with tunable surface properties. Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids, 32(25), 6468-6477. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.6b01088

Lignin nanoparticles can serve as biodegradable carriers of biocidal actives with minimal environmental footprint. Here we describe the colloidal synthesis and interfacial design of nanoparticles with tunable surface properties using two different li...

Fabrication of living soft matter by symbiotic growth of unicellular microorganisms (2016)
Journal Article
Das, A. A. K., Bovill, J., Ayesh, M., Stoyanov, S. D., & Paunov, V. N. (2016). Fabrication of living soft matter by symbiotic growth of unicellular microorganisms. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 4(21), 3685-3694. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5tb02489g

We report the fabrication of living soft matter made as a result of the symbiotic relationship of two unicellular microorganisms. The material is composed of bacterial cellulose produced in situ by acetobacter (Acetobacter aceti NCIMB 8132) in the pr...
