Oil-in-oil emulsions stabilised solely by solid particles [PDF]
, 2015 A brief review of the stabilisation of emulsions of two immiscible oils is given. We then describe the use of fumed silica particles coated with either hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon groups in acting as sole stabilisers of emulsions of various vegetable ...

Nano-scale superhydrophobicity: suppression of protein adsorption and promotion of flow-induced detachment [PDF]
, 2008 Wall adsorption is a common problem in microfluidic devices, particularly when proteins are used. Here we show how superhydrophobic surfaces can be used to reduce protein adsorption and to promote desorption.

Dynamic Surface Excesses of Fluorocarbon Surfactants
Langmuir, 2003 Dynamic adsorption and surface tension behavior of aqueous fluoro-surfactant solutions has been investigated using a range of experimental techniques, including neutron reflection (NR). Equilibrium tensions, γeq, have been measured by drop volume tensiometry (DVT), and dynamic surface tensions, γdyn, have been determined using the nonperturbative ...

The Critical Crossover at the n-Hexane - Water Interface [PDF]
, 2010 According to estimates of the parameters of the critical crossover in monolayers of long-chain alcohol molecules adsorbed at the n-hexane - water interface, all systems in which this phenomenon is observed are characterized by the same value of the ...

Bilayer membranes of fluorocarbon surfactants.
membrane, 1985 Micelles of fluorocarbon surfactants have peculiar physicochemical characteristics compared with those of the hydrocarbon counterparts. High efficiency and novel selectivity were attainable in the catalytic hydrolysis of phenyl esters by making use of the limited miscibility of fluorocarbon with hydrocarbon.

Linear viscoelasticity of entangled wormlike micelles bridged by telechelic polymers : an experimental model for a double transient network [PDF]
, 2007 We survey the linear viscoelasticity of a new type of transient network: bridged wormlike micelles, whose structure has been characterized recently [Ramos and Ligoure, (2007)].

Biocompatible surfactants for water-in-fluorocarbon emulsions
Lab on a Chip, 2008 Drops of water-in-fluorocarbon emulsions have great potential for compartmentalizing both in vitro and in vivo biological systems; however, surfactants to stabilize such emulsions are scarce. Here we present a novel class of fluorosurfactants that we synthesize by coupling oligomeric perfluorinated polyethers (PFPE) with polyethyleneglycol (PEG).
