Spreading of nanofluids on solids
Darsh T. Wasan,Alex D. Nikolov +1 more
TL;DR: Video microscopy is used to demonstrate both the two-dimensional crystal-like ordering of charged nanometre-sized polystyrene spheres in water, and the enhanced spreading dynamics of a micellar fluid, at the three-phase contact region, which suggest a new mechanism for oily soil removal—detergency.

Effect of nanoparticles on the interfacial properties of liquid/liquid and liquid/air surface layers.
TL;DR: An important role in the mixed particle-surfactant layer reorganization is played by the Brownian transport of particles from the bulk to the interface and by the surfactant redistribution between the particle and fluid interface.
