Silica nanoparticles with a balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface properties exhibit surfactant-like behaviour, and as a consequence can strongly adsorb at oil/water interfaces to stabilize the formation of water micro-droplets. Here we expl... Read More about In vitro gene expression and enzyme catalysis in bio-inorganic protocells.

Using a system of modified silica particles and mixtures of water and 2,6-lutidine to form particle-stabilized emulsions, we show that subtle alterations to the hydration of the particle surface can cause major shifts in emulsion structure. We use fl... Read More about Inversion of particle-stabilized emulsions of partially miscible liquids by mild drying of modified silica particles.

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.
