Fabrication of micrometer-sized drops as templates for particles

Drops are omnipresent in our daily life for example in the form of rain drops or as oil drops in a salad dressing. On a technological basis, drops can be used to conduct chemical or biological reactions. These drops often serve as templates to produce mate ...

Monodisperse Selectively Permeable Hydrogel Capsules Made from Single Emulsion Drops

Esther Amstad, Alexandre Louis André Persat, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher, Alice Cont

Capsules are often used to protect chemical and biological entities from the environment, to control the timing and location of their release, or to facilitate the collection of waste. Their performance depends on the thickness and composition of their she ...

Thermal stability of size-selected copper nanoparticles: Effect of size, support and CO2 hydrogenation atmosphere

Andreas Züttel, Wen Luo, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Kun Zhao, Mo Li, Alexandre Borsay

Metal nanoparticles with a precisely controlled particle size distribution are ideal model catalysts for fundamental studies in catalysis. In this work, the thermal stability of size-selected Cu nanoparticles (Cu NPs) were deposited by magnetron sputtering ...

Fluorinated surfactants in droplet-based microfluidics: Influence of their composition on the properties of emulsion drops

Gianluca Nicolas Etienne

Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...

Cross-talk between emulsion drops: how are hydrophilic reagents transported across oil phases?

Bart Deplancke, Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne, Marjan Biocanin

Emulsion drops are frequently used as vessels, for example, to conduct biochemical reactions in small volumes or to perform screening assays at high throughputs while consuming minimal sample volumes. These applications typically require drops that do not ...

Reaction-Induced Cluster Ripening and Initial Size-Dependent Reaction Rates for CO Oxidation on Pt-n/TiO2(110)-(1x1)

Harald Brune, Wolfgang Harbich, Simon Bonanni

We determined the CO oxidation rates for size-selected Pt-n (n is an element of {3,7,10}) clusters deposited onto TiO2(110). In addition, we investigated the cluster morphologies and their mean sizes before and after the reaction. While the clusters are fa ...

Modelling migration and dissolution of mineral particles in saturated porous media

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Understanding and predicting the fate in soils and other porous media of solid mineral particles with grain diameters in the micrometer range is important in a number of environmental and civil engineering applications, including subsurface hydrology, wast ...

A coupled observation - Modeling approach for studying activation kinetics from measurements of CCN activity

Athanasios Nenes

This paper presents an approach to study droplet activation kinetics from measurements of CCN activity by the Continuous Flow Streamwise Thermal Gradient CCN Chamber (CFSTGC) and a comprehensive model of the instrument and droplet growth. The model, which ...

Morphology of polymer/clay latex particles synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization: Modeling and experimental results

John Christopher Plummer

BA/MMA (90:10 wt.-%) were copolymerized in the presence of two different organomodified clays (C30B and CMA16) and 1.6-2.6wbm.-% surfactants. The effect of the compatibility of the organoclay in the monomer mixture on the morphology of hybrid polymer/clay ...

Etude des propriétés morphologiques et catalytiques d'agrégats d'or triés en taille et déposés sur le TiO2(110)

Raphaël Vallotton

This thesis aims to find, for the first time, a direct relation between the size and morphology of small metallic nanostructures (gold in this case) supported on a metal-oxide surface to their catalytic activity. In this perspective, three main topics have ...
