Magnetic ellipsoidal particles adsorbed at a fluid–fluid interface create dipolar interface deformations in response to a magnetic field, which affects their orientation and may lead to novel particle monolayer structures.

Colloid-sized particles (10 nm–10 μm in characteristic size) adsorb onto fluid interfaces, where they minimize their interfacial energy by straddling the surface, immersing themselves partly in each phase bounding the interface. The energy minimum achieved by relocation to the surface can be orders of magnitude greater than the thermal energy, effectively trapping the particles into monolayers, allowing them freedom only to translate and rotate along the surface. Particles adsorbed at interfaces are models for the understanding of the dynamics and assembly of particles in two dimensions and have broad technological applications, importantly in foam and emulsion science and in the bottom-up fabrication of new materials based on their monolayer assemblies. In this review, the hydrodynamics of the colloid motion along the surface is examined from both continuum and molecular dynamics frameworks. The interfacial energies of adsorbed particles is discussed first, followed by the hydrodynamics, starting with isolated particles followed by pairwise and multiple particle interactions. The effect of particle shape is emphasized, and the role played by the immersion depth and the surface rheology is discussed; experiments illustrating the applicability of the hydrodynamic studies are also examined. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, Volume 54 is January 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

We report here a review of particle-laden interfaces. We discuss the importance of the particle’s wettability, accounted for by the definition of a contact angle, on the attachment of particles to the fluid interface and how the contact angle is strongly affected by several physicochemical parameters. The different mechanisms of interfacial assembly are also addressed, being the adsorption and spreading the most widely used processes leading to the well-known adsorbed and spread layers, respectively. The different steps involved in the adsorption of the particles and the particle-surfactant mixtures from bulk to the interface are also discussed. We also include here the different equations of state provided so far to explain the interfacial behavior of the nanoparticles. Finally, we discuss the mechanical properties of the interfacial particle layers via dilatational and shear rheology. We emphasize along that section the importance of the shear rheology to know the intrinsic morphology of such particulate system and to understand how the flow-field-dependent evolution of the interfacial morphology might eventually affect some properties of materials such as foams and emulsions. We dedicated the last section to explaining the importance of the particulate interfacial systems in the stabilization of foams and emulsions.

We study the capillary-induced interactions and configuration of spherical and non-spherical Janus particles adsorbed at flat liquid-fluid interfaces. For Janus spheres, the equilibrium orientation results in each hemisphere being exposed to its more favored fluid. However, experimental observations suggest that some of these particles may take a tilted orientation at the interface, giving rise to a deformed interface. On the other hand, Janus ellipsoids with a large aspect ratio or a small difference in the wettability of the two regions tend to tilt even at equilibrium. The overlap of deformed menisci results in energetic interactions between neighboring particles. We numerically calculate the interface shape around the particles by minimizing the total surface energy of the system comprising of the interface and particle-fluid regions. We quantify these interactions through evaluation of capillary energy variation as a function of the orientation and separation distance between the particles. We find that Janus spheres with similar orientations undergo a relative realignment in the interface plane in order to minimize the capillary energy. In case of ellipsoidal particles, the particles assemble in a preferred side-by-side configuration. We evaluate the role of anisotropy and degree of amphiphilicity on the inter-particle force and the capillary torque. The results can be used to predict the migration and oriented assembly of Janus particles with various geometrical and surface properties at liquid-fluid interfaces.

The accumulation of microscale materials at solid–fluid interfaces in biological channels is often the initial stage of certain growth processes, which are present in some forms of atherosclerosis. The objective of this work is to develop a relatively simple model for such accumulation, which researchers can use to qualitatively guide their analyses. Specifically, the approach is to construct rate equations for the accumulation at the solid–fluid interface as a function of the intensity of the shear stress. The accumulation of material subsequently reduces the cross-sectional area of the channel until the fluid-induced shear stress at the solid–fluid interface reaches a critical value, which terminates the accumulation rate. Characteristics of the model are explored analytically and numerically.
