Polyhedral Liquid Marbles [PDF]
Advanced 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.
