Impact of particle-size polydispersity on the quality of thin-film colloidal crystals
Mariam Arif, Andrew B. Schofield, Fraser H. J. Laidlaw +2
Size polydispersity in colloidal particles can disrupt order in their self-assembly, ultimately leading to a complete suppression of crystallization. In contrast to various computa…
Rheological design of thickened alcohol-based hand rubs
Andreia F Silva, Tiffany A Wood, Daniel J M Hodgson +4
The handleability and sensory perception of hand sanitisers by consumers affect the hygiene outcome. Spillage may result in under-dosing and poor sensory properties can lead to und…
Changing the flow profile and resulting drying pattern of dispersion droplets via contact angle modification
Carmen Morcillo Perez, Benjamin D. Goddard, Theo Reid +4
Spilling tea or coffee leads to a tell-tale circular stain after the droplet dries, known as the "coffee ring effect". The evaporation of suspension droplets is a complex physical…
Bicontinuous soft solids with a gradient in channel size designed for energy storage applications
David J. French, Andrew B. Schofield, Job H. J. Thijssen
We present examples of bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels ("bijels") with a designed gradient in the channel size along the sample. These samples are created by quench…
Contactless Interfacial Rheology: Probing Shear at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces without an Interfacial Geometry via Fluorescence Microscopy
Iain Muntz, James A. Richards, Sam Brown +3
Interfacial rheology is important for understanding properties such as Pickering emulsion or foam stability. Currently, the response is measured using a probe directly attached to…
Soft matter science and the COVID-19 pandemic
Wilson C K Poon, Aidan T Brown, Susana O. L. Direito +9
Much of the science underpinning the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic lies in the soft matter domain. Coronaviruses are composite particles with a core of nucleic acids com…
