WPI-MANA Team Creates Flexible Patterning on Liquid Marble Droplets
TSUKUBA, Japan, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --A team at WPI-MANA has created flexible patterning of functional particles on liquid marble droplet surfaces in a patchwork design.
- TSUKUBA, Japan, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --A team at WPI-MANA has created flexible patterning of functional particles on liquid marble droplet surfaces in a patchwork design.
- Solid particles in the nanometer to micrometer size range irreversibly attach to liquid surfaces, which has led to new products and concepts, such as powder foam, dry water and liquid marbles (LMs).
- LMs consist of droplets wrapped by hydrophobic solid particles, which behave as a non-wetting soft solid.
