Surfactant capsules propel interfacial oil droplets : an environmental cleanup strategy
Coming clean: Polymer capsules of millimeter dimensions have been loaded with surfactants of negative, positive, or neutral charge, and their influence on the movement of oil droplets at the water/air interface was compared. Release of surfactant molecules from the capsule affects the surface tensio...
