We address a systematic study of the three-phase contact angle, θ, of microparticles at flat fluid−liquid interfaces by using different experimental methods. We measured the dependence of θ not only on the particle chemical composition and size, but also on the solvent used to spread the microparticles onto the fluid interface. We found a non-expected and non-regular dependence of θ with size, chemical nature and spreading solvent used for the different particles studied. We propose that these dependences are due to porosity/roughness of the particles that allows the adsorption of the spreading solvent onto the solid particle surface. This conclusion is supported by the values of the line tensions estimated for the different systems.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
