Effective interaction between a colloid and a soft interface near criticality [PDF]
, 2014 Within mean-field theory we determine the universal scaling function for the effective force acting on a single colloid located near the interface between two coexisting liquid phases of a binary liquid mixture close to its critical consolute point. This

Ionic and non-ionic surfactants: Micelles, reverse micelles and micro heterogenous systems
Pubvet, 2022 Surfactants are surface-active agents which belong to the category of amphiphilic molecules. Indeed, surfactants are characterized for the presence of polar and apolar domains in the same compound.

Temperature and Concentration Dependence of Human Whole Blood and Protein Drying Droplets
Biomolecules, 2021 The drying of bio-colloidal droplets can be used in many medical and forensic applications. The whole human blood is the most complex bio-colloid system, whereas bovine serum albumin (BSA) is the simplest. This paper focuses on the drying characteristics

Fluid Therapy in Pulmonary Disease: How Careful Do We Need to Be?
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Intravenous fluid therapy is a vital and life-saving therapeutic in veterinary medicine. In the absence of heart or lung disease, trauma or sepsis there is limited evidence that fluid therapy will have a detrimental effect on lung function.

Active nematic multipoles: Flow responses and the dynamics of defects and colloids
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 We introduce a general description of localised distortions in active nematics using the framework of active nematic multipoles. We give the Stokesian flows for arbitrary multipoles in terms of differentiation of a fundamental flow response and describe ...
