New insights into liquid marbles

Abstract

Non-stick droplets, or the so-called liquid marbles, have attracted the attention of investigators during the last decade. This paper reviews the recent results in the field of liquid marbles, in particular the behavior of liquid marbles immersed in organic liquids, opening a way to manufacturing Pickering-like emulsions. The behavior of liquid marbles exposed to magnetic and electric fields is discussed. Biological applications of liquid marbles are reviewed.
