Microrheology of complex fluid-fluid interfaces. KU Leuven
When fluids such as air, water and oil come in contact with each another, they often remain separated while interacting through an interface. Examples of this are a simple air-over-water system and various oil and water mixtures. More complex examples include foams, emulsions and biological membranes. The behavior of these systems is dependent on the properties of the interfaces. For example, adding soap to water changes the properties of an ...
