Remotely Controllable Liquid Marbles [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2012 With the ongoing need for miniaturized systems in many biological and chemical applications, there is an increasing demand for the development of versatile methods for controllable transport and manipulation of small volumes of liquids.1–9 Recently, liquid marbles — liquid droplets encapsulated by self-organized hydrophobic particles at the liquid/air ...

Responsive Photonic Liquid Marbles. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 2020 AbstractLiquid marbles have potential to serve as mini‐reactors for fabricating new materials, but this has been exploited little and mostly for conventional chemical reactions. Here, we uncover the unparalleled capability of liquid marbles to act as platforms for controlling the self‐assembly of a bio‐derived polymer, hydroxypropyl cellulose, into a ...

Electrowetting of liquid marbles [PDF]
Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2006 Electrowetting of water drops on structured superhydrophobic surfaces are known to cause an irreversible change from a slippy (Cassie-Baxter) to sticky (Wenzel) regime. An alternative approach to using a water drop on a super-hydrophobic surface to obtain a non-wetting system is to use a liquid marble on a smooth solid substrate.

Manipulation of liquid marbles [PDF]
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, 2015 A liquid marble is a liquid droplet coated with hydrophobic powder which enables the marble to be manipulated like a soft solid. Recently, liquid marbles have been used in applications such as microbioreactors for three-dimensional cell cultures and could be a new platform for digital microfluidics.

Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction in liquid marbles [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Materials, 2019 Abstract In Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) type reactions, chemical oxidation waves can be exploited to produce reaction-diffusion processors. This paper reports on a new method of encapsulating BZ solution in a powder coating of either polyethylene (PE) or polytetrafluoroethylene ...

An Electrostatic Method for Manufacturing Liquid Marbles and Particle-Stabilized Aggregates [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018 We have developed a method for transferring particles from a powder bed to a liquid droplet using an electric field. This process has been used to create liquid marbles with characteristics not normally found in those formed by direct contact methods ...

Rough and Tough: How Particle Surface Roughness Affects Liquid Marble Formation and Stability [PDF]
Advanced ScienceLiquid marbles are liquid droplets encased by non‐wetting particles. They exhibit elastic and non‐sticking properties that enable applications such as sensors, adhesives, miniature reactors, and material carriers. The formation, stability, and properties

Supergluing MOF liquid marbles
Chem. Commun., 2013 Growth of NH(2)-MIL-53(Al) on alumina microparticles followed by post-synthetic modification with perfluorooctyl or caproic groups produces highly hydrophobic microparticles which are utilized for the formation of liquid marbles. Interfacial polymerization of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate on the surface of the liquid marbles produces stable liquid capsules.

Capillary origami: superhydrophobic ribbon surfaces and liquid marbles [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2011 In the wetting of a solid by a liquid it is often assumed that the substrate is rigid. However, for an elastic substrate the rigidity depends on the cube of its thickness and so reduces rapidly as the substrate becomes thinner as it approaches becoming a
