The studies presented in this thesis focused on investigating the influence of surface composition on the adsorption and self-assembly of nanoparticles at the toluene/water interface, as a step towards generating knowledge ...

Liquid crystal (LC) droplets dispersed in aqueous phases (e.g., LC-in-water emulsions) provide a versatile platform for the design of droplet-based LC sensors that can respond to the presence of chemical and biological ...
