Nanopore and nanoparticle formation with lipids, undergoing polymorphic phase transitions
Diana Cholakova, Desislava Glushkova, Slavka Tcholakova +1
We describe several unexpected phenomena, caused by a solid-solid phase transition (gel-to-crystal) typical for all main classes of lipid substances - phospholipids, triglycerides,…
Spontaneous particle desorption and "Gorgon" drop formation from particle-armored oil drops upon cooling
Diana Cholakova, Zhulieta Valkova, Slavka Tcholakova +2
Drop "self-shaping" is a phenomenon in which cooled oily emulsion drops undergo a spectacular series of shape transformations (Denkov et al., Nature 528, 2015, 392). Solid particle…
Surface phase transitions in foams and emulsions
Nikolai Denkov, Slavka Tcholakova, Diana Cholakova
Surface phase transitions in surfactant adsorption layers are known to affect the dynamic properties of foams and to induce surface nucleation in freezing emulsion drops. Recently,…
Shape-Shifting Polyhedral Droplets
Pierre A. Haas, Diana Cholakova, Nikolai Denkov +2
Cooled oil emulsion droplets in aqueous surfactant solution have been observed to flatten into a remarkable host of polygonal shapes with straight edges and sharp corners, but diff…
