The Fabrication and Property of PTFE-NP Liquid Marbles

Article Preview

Abstract:

Liquid marbles are hydrophilic liquid drops encapsulated with hydrophobic powder materials. The liquid marbles have potential applications in drug delivery, water purification, ferrofluidic device and sensor microfabrication. In this work, a new type of polytetrafluoroethylene nanoparticle (PTFE-NP) liquid marbles were fabricated successfully using mixing method. The morphology of the formed liquid marbles was characterized under different conditions, and novel properties of the PTFE-NP liquid marbles were investigated and demonstrated.
