Nanoparticle (NP) colloidal stability plays a crucial role in biomedical application not only for human and environmental safety but also for NP efficiency and functionality. NP agglomeration is considered as a possible process in monodispersed NP colloida ...
The computational method was used to explain the activity of zein-based colloidal nanoparticles at inter-face between water and oil phases. The alpha-zein/tannic acid colloidal nanoparticles (ZTPs) were made using three steps including dissolving alpha-zei ...
The microscopic description of the interface of colloidal particles in solution is essential to understand and predict the stability of these systems, as well as their chemical and electrochemical reactivity. However, this description often relies on the u ...

Recent years have seen spectacular developments in the domain of nano-optics.
Alongside the well-known techniques of super-resolution microscopy progress
in nanofabrication has enabled important improvements in the fields
of optical imaging and spectros ...

Here, we propose a simple shake-flask method to produce micron-size colloidosomes from a liquid-liquid interface functionalized with a gold nanoparticle film. A step-by-step extraction process of an organic phase partially miscible with water led to the fo ...
