TLDR
In this article, the authors show that when two immiscible liquid drops, designated as phase-1 and -3, suspended in a third immiscibility liquid, phase-2, are brought into contact, the resulting equilibrium configuration is readily predicted from the interfacial tensions σij and spreading coefficients Si = σjk − (σij + σik).About:

A model of cell sorting.
TL;DR: Voronoi polygons are introduced as a suitable representation for a two-dimensional cell sheet defined in terms of a finite number of points, making numerical simulations tractable and yet allowing cells to change neighbors and their shape in response to deforming forces without leaving gaps in the tissue.

In Situ Measure of Interfacial Tensions in Ternary and Quaternary Immiscible Polymer Blends Demonstrating Partial Wetting
TL;DR: In this paper, the Neumann triangle method combined with a focused ion beam sample preparation technique and atomic force microscopy (NT-FIB-AFM) was used to measure interfacial tension ratios in partially wetted ternary and quaternary immiscible polymer blends prepared by melt processing.

Advanced dielectric polymer nanocomposites by constructing a ternary continuous structure in polymer blends containing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) modified carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, a nanocomposite with ultra-low percolation threshold and high dielectric performance is prepared by controlling the localization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in one phase of a ternary continuous polymer blend system through melt processing.

Synthesis of Magnetic Microspheres with Controllable Structure via Polymerization-Triggered Self-Positioning of Nanocrystals
TL;DR: A facile and novel method for the synthesis of magnetite-polymer hybrid microspheres with controllable structure is reported, and the mechanism of polymerization-triggered self-positioning of magnetic nanocrystals is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-step preparation of magnetic Janus particles using controlled phase separation of polymer blends and nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, a simple method with the aid of a microfluidic droplet generation technique was presented to fabricate magnetic Janus particles by utilizing a solvent evaporation-induced phase separation and preferential partitioning of magnetic nanoparticles in the polymer blends.

Particle motions in sheared suspensions XII. Deformation and burst of fluid drops in shear and hyperbolic flow
F.D Rumscheidt,S. G. Mason +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation, orientation, and burst of fluid drops suspended in a liquid subjected to both hyperbolic and shear flow have been measured for a large number of fluid pairs covering a wide range of viscosity ratio p. At low deformation excellent agreement, with theoretical equations due to Taylor and Cerf was found.

Semipermeable aqueous microcapsules. I. Preparation and properties.
TL;DR: Methods have been developed for depositing thin stable semipermeable polymer membranes around aqueous microdroplets (mean diameter down to 5 μ or less) by either interfacial polymerization or interfacial coacervation.

Oil Lenses on Water and the Nature of Monomolecular Expanded Films
TL;DR: In this article, the condition for the formation of such stable lenses is that the spreading coefficient FS = γ1 − γ2 γ12 shall be negative and the magnitude of the linear tension at the lens boundary is also calculated.

Particle motions in sheared suspensions
W Bartok,S. G. Mason +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the rotations executed by rigid rods, fused doublets of equal-sized spheres, and the transitory doublets formed by collision of equal sized spheres suspended in a liquid subjected to laminar shear, have been studied by making observations along the planes of shear.
