Spontaneous formation of a self-healing carbon nanoskin at the liquid–liquid interface - Nature.com

Biological membranes exhibit the ability to self-repair and dynamically change their shape while remaining impermeable but these defining features are difficult to reconcile with mechanical robustness. Here, the authors report on the spontaneous formation of …

Interfacial self-assembly and carbonization We have monitored the time evolution of the interfacial adsorption of the reactive carbon-rich surfactant 119 at the chloroform-water interface by measuri… [+22803 chars]
