The structure of colloidosomes with tunable particle density: simulation vs experiment
Colloidosomes are created in the laboratory from a Pickering emulsion of
water droplets in oil. The colloidosomes have approximately the same diameter
and by choosing (hairy) particles of different diameters it is possible to
control the particle density on the droplets. The experiment is performed at
room temperature. The radial distribution function of the assembly of (primary)
particles on the water droplet is measured in the laboratory and in a computer
experiment of a fluid model of particles with pairwise interactions on the
surface of a sphere.Comment: 16 pages, 2 tables, 7 figure
