Mechanical compression to characterize the robustness of liquid marbles [PDF]
, 2015 In this work, we have devised a new approach to measure the critical pressure that a liquid marble can withstand. A liquid marble is gradually squeezed under a mechanical compression applied by two parallel plates.

Janus liquid marbles: Fabrication techniques, recent developments, and applications
Droplet, 2023 Liquid marbles (LMs) are nonsticky droplets stabilized by hydrophobic solid particles that are adsorbed at the liquid–air interface. LMs are emerging as a potential platform in digital microfluidics, sensing applications, storage unit, biological ...

Monolayer Nanoparticle‐Covered Liquid Marble Production with Low Surface Tension Liquids
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2020 As an emerging droplet system, monolayer nanoparticle‐covered (mNPc) liquid marbles have shown fascinating properties and application values. Their formation process has been clear, but liquid availability for production has yet to be clarified.

Behavior of self-propelled acetone droplets in a Leidenfrost state on liquid substrates [PDF]
, 2017 It is demonstrated that non-coalescent droplets of acetone can be formed on liquid substrates. The fluid flows around and in an acetone droplet hovering on water are recorded to shed light on the mechanisms which might lead to non-coalescence.

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]
, 2007 Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishment of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.

Particles at oil–air surfaces : powdered oil, liquid oil marbles, and oil foam [PDF]
, 2015 The type of material stabilized by four kinds of fluorinated particles (sericite and bentonite platelet clays and spherical zinc oxide) in air–oil mixtures has been investigated. It depends on the particle wettability and the degree of shear.

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.
