Bottom-Up Synthesis of Polymeric Micro- and Nanoparticles with Regular Anisotropic Shapes
Lesov, I; Valkova, Z; Vassileva, E; Georgiev, GS; Ruseva, K; Simeonov, M; Tcholakova, S; Denkov, ND; Smoukov, SK (American Chemical Society, 2018-10-09)Shape-anisotropic polymeric micro- and nanoparticles are of significant interest for the development of novel composite materials, lock-and-key assemblies, and drug carriers. Currently, syntheses require external confinement ... -
Mechanisms and Control of Self-Emulsification upon Freezing and Melting of Dispersed Alkane Drops
Valkova, Z; Cholakova, D; Tcholakova, S; Denkov, N; Smoukov, SK (American Chemical Society, 2017-10-31)Emulsification requires drop breakage and creation of a large interfacial area between immiscible liquid phases. Usually, high-shear or high-pressure emulsification devices that generate heat and increase the emulsion ... -

Feng, J; Valkova, Z; Lin, EE; Nourafkan, E; Wang, T; Tcholakova, S; Slavchov, R; Smoukov, SK (2022) -
Minimum Surfactant Concentration Required for Inducing Self-shaping of Oil Droplets and Competitive Adsorption Effects
Feng, J; Valkova, Z; Lin, EE; Nourafkan, E; Wang, T; Tcholakova, S; Slavchov, R; Smoukov, SK (2022-08-16) -
Multilayer Formation in Self-Shaping Emulsion Droplets.
Cholakova, D; Denkov, N; Tcholakova, S; Valkova, Z; Smoukov, SK (2019-04-23)In several recent studies, we showed that micrometer-sized oil-in-water emulsion droplets from alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, triglycerides, or mixtures of these components can spontaneously "self-shape" upon cooling into ...
