Polyhedral Liquid Marbles [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, 2019
AbstractA new type of armored droplet, a so‐called polyhedral liquid marble, is introduced in this work. These armored liquid marbles consist of liquid droplets stabilized by hydrophobic hexagonal plates made of poly(ethylene terephthalate), which adsorb to the liquid–air interface.

Liquid marbles

Nature, 2001
The transport of a small amount of liquid on a solid is not a simple process, owing to the nature of the contact between the two phases. Setting a liquid droplet in motion requires non-negligible forces (because the contact-angle hysteresis generates a force opposing the motion), and often results in the deposition of liquid behind the drop.

Liquid Marbles and Liquid Plasticines With Nanoparticle Monolayers

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2019
Liquid marbles, as particle-covered macroscopic liquid drops in an air environment, have exhibited great value as self-standing liquid containers in various areas, such as material synthesis, chemical analysis, and cell culture. However, conventional liquid marbles obtained by the rolling-on-powder-bed method usually feature micron-sized or larger ...

Elasticity of liquid marbles

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2015
Liquid marbles are liquid droplets covered densely with small particles. They exhibit hydrophobic properties even on hydrophilic surfaces and this behaviour is closely related to the Cassie wetting state and the phenomenon of superhydrophobicity. Typical liquid marbles are of millimetre size but their properties are analogous to smaller capsules and ...

Ionic Liquid Marbles

Langmuir, 2007
Liquid marbles have been reported during this decade and have been argued to be potentially useful for microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip applications. The liquid marbles described to date have been composed of either water or glycerol as the liquid and hydrophobized lycopodium or silica as the stabilizing particles.

Electrowetting of Nonwetting Liquids and Liquid Marbles

Langmuir, 2006
Transport of a water droplet on a solid surface can be achieved by differentially modifying the contact angles at either side of the droplet using capacitive charging of the solid-liquid interface (i.e., electrowetting-on-dielectric) to create a driving force.

Shaped composite liquid marbles

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2014
Shaped "cubic" non-stick droplets are reported. Shaped composite droplets were manufactured via a two-stage process. In the first stage, cubic foamed-polystyrene particles were hydrophilized with cold radiofrequency plasma. Then particles were wetted with water.

Stimulus-Responsive Liquid Marbles

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2009
Millimeter-sized "liquid marbles" are usually prepared using highly hydrophobic particles such as fluorosilane-treated lycopodium powder or alkylated silica sols. In the present work it is shown that "liquid marbles" can be prepared using sterically stabilized polystyrene latex; remarkably, such latex particles can be readily prepared by aqueous ...

Observation of the Liquid Marble Morphology Using Confocal Microscopy

open access: yesChemical Engineering Journal, 2010
The structure of the hydrophobic powder shell of a liquid marble is investigated in this study. Although the liquid marble morphology has been investigated using various forms of microscopy, the cross-sectional structure and the thickness variation of ...

Liquid marble for gas sensing

Chemical Communications, 2010
The porous and superhydrophobic shell of a liquid marble prevents contact of its liquid core with outside surfaces, but allows gas transport. Liquid marble can therefore be used to sense gas or emit gas. Liquid marbles loaded with different indicators can simultaneously sense different gases via different mechanisms.
