The behavior of capillary suspensions at diverse length scales: From single capillary bridges to bulk

Liquid-liquid-solid systems are becoming increasingly common in everyday life with many possible applications. Here, we focus on a special case of such liquid-liquid-solid systems, namely, capillary suspensions. These suspensions originate from particles that form network based forces and typically composed solids bulk liquid an added secondary liquid. The structure particle networks bridges possesses unique properties compared formed via other attractive interactions where these differences inherently related to the bridges, as bridge breaking coalescence between adjacent bridges. Thus, tailor mechanical specific requirements, it is important understand influences different length scales ranging dynamics varying external stimuli often heterogeneous structure.
