Minimum Surfactant Concentration Required for Inducing Self-shaping of Oil Droplets and Competitive Adsorption Effects
Jiale Feng, Zhulieta Valkova, E Emily Lin +5
Surfactant choice is key in starting the phenomena of artificial morphogenesis, the bottom-up growth of geometric particles from cooled emulsion droplets, as well as the bottom-up…
Flow reactor for preparation of lipid nanoparticles via temperature variations
I. Lesov, D. Glushkova, D. Cholakova +4
Lipid nanoemulsions and nanosuspensions are used as flavor carriers and bubble stabilizers in soft drinks and foods, as well as delivery vehicles for lipophilic drugs in pharmaceut…
Rechargeable self-assembled droplet microswimmers driven by surface phase transitions
Diana Cholakova, Maciej Lisicki, Stoyan K. Smoukov +6
The design of artificial microswimmers is often inspired by the strategies of natural microorganisms. Many of these creatures exploit the fact that elasticity breaks the time-rever…
Comment on "Faceting and Flattening of Emulsion Droplets: A Mechanical Model"
Pierre A. Haas, Raymond E. Goldstein, Diana Cholakova +2
García-Aguilar et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett 126, 038001 (2021)] have shown that the deformations of "shape-shifting droplets" are consistent with an elastic model, that, unlike previous…
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…
A Theory of Shape-Shifting Droplets
Pierre A. Haas, Raymond E. Goldstein, Stoyan K. Smoukov +2
Recent studies of cooled oil emulsion droplets uncovered transformations into a host of flattened shapes with straight edges and sharp corners, driven by a partial phase transition…
