Open Access
Brian K. Wilson, Robert K. Prud’homme
Composite nanoparticles co-encapsulate organic materials with inorganic primary colloids. Producing “stoichiometric NPs”, where all NPs contain organic and inorganic species at similar ratios, requires matched diffusion-aggregation time scale.

Drop deformation in a planar elongational flow: impact of surfactant dynamics

Soft Matter, 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00642A, Paper
Julian Wailliez, Paul Regazzi, Anniina Salonen, Paul G. Chen, Marc Jaeger, Marc Leonetti, Emmanuelle Rio
We measure the deformation of a drop under an extensional flow. The drop is less deformed than for a pure liquid because of the depletion of surfactants at the tips, which we attribute to the adsorption/desorption dynamics of the surfactants.
