TL;DR: The behavior of monolayers of monodisperse prolate ellipsoidal latex particles with the same surface chemistry but varying aspect ratio has been studied experimentally and buckling of the monolayer as a whole was observed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent advances in the study of suspensions containing shape anisotropic particles and highlight recent results in three areas: evaporation driven assembly, packing, interfacial behavior and the use of these particles in emulsion stabilization.

TL;DR: An experimental investigation of the effect of particle shape and DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek) interactions on evaporation-driven pattern formation in sessile drops reveals that a control over the nature of deposit pattern can be achieved by tuning the particle-particle and particle-substrate interactions.

TL;DR: Using oppositely charged latex particles as a model system, Pickering emulsions with good long-term stability can be obtained without the need for any electrolyte and the particle composition is found to affect the formation of emulsion.

TL;DR: This work estimates the effective diffusivity of particles to the interface by analyzing the initial decay in the measured surface tension by considering particle laden drops containing different amounts of salt using the modified Ward and Tordai theory and derives an analytical expression that qualitatively captures the effect of the surface charge on the equilibrium surface coverage of particles at the drop surface.
