Colloidal Gelation Implemented by Surface Roughness Enables Enhanced Biomedical Functionality for a Pickering System (Adv. Funct. Mater. 15/2026)
Colloidal Gelation In their Research Article (10.1002/adfm.202521726), Yonghang Tai, Feng Wen, Tao Li, and co-workers show that, when utilizing rough colloids to produce Pickering droplets, a low surface coverage is generally enough for stabilizing the entire system. The “saving” in surface area, therefore, offers vast space for these colloids to arrangement and assembly at the liquid-liquid interface. Here, they are mischievously mimicking “The Mask”.
