pisarakenneisiin
Pisarakenneisiin is a term used in Finnish-language literature to describe organized assemblies of droplets embedded in a continuous host phase. These microstructures arise in emulsions, gels, and certain porous solids, and are studied for their influence on optical, transport, and mechanical properties. The concept is used to refer to droplet-based architectures rather than isolated droplets.
Formation and morphology: Structures form during emulsification, phase separation, or templated synthesis. Droplets can arrange into
Properties and stability: The droplet arrangement affects permeability, refractive index, and mechanical modulus. Stability is governed
Measurement and terminology: Observations are made with optical and confocal microscopy, electron microscopy, and scattering techniques
Applications and status: Potential uses include color-tunable coatings, filtration membranes with selective porosity, controlled-release drug carriers,
