Funded Activity Summary

Electrostatic formation of liquid marbles. This project aims to design complex liquid marbles by electrostasis. Liquid marbles are particle-liquid aggregates which have inspired a variety of applications, including pollution and gas sensors, actuators, microreactors and drug delivery vehicles. Until now, only an external layer of non-wettable particles could be readily incorporated. This project will broaden the achievable complexity and application of the particle-drop aggregates, add value to Australia’s high-performance materials manufacturing industry, and expand knowledge in colloid and interface science and particle electrostatics. Industries including pharmaceutical and personal-care industries will benefit from low-energy, high-efficiency production of next-generation complex liquid marbles.
