Abstract: Focuses on a method that uses the process of selective withdrawal of one fluid through a second immiscible fluid to coat small particles with polymer films. Withdrawal of fluid through a tube with its orifice slightly above a water-oil interface; Major feature of spout collapse; Utilization of confocal and optical microscopies.
