Spheroidal nanoparticles with aspect ratio α larger than a critical value α c cannot be adsorbed at a liquid/liquid interface. The critical shape α c (depending on the liquid-liquid surface tension and liquid-particle-liquid line tension) is computed explicitly using a simple expression for the Free Energy. The results show that particles can be surface active, that is, can be adsorbed at the interface according to its shape. In addition, the dependence of the line tension with the size of the liquid-particle-liquid contact line is also discussed. © Walter de Gruyter Thermodynamics & statistical physics nationallicence Heat transfer processes nationallicence Faraudo Jordi Departament de Física, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, E-08193 Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain. aut Bresme Fernando Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London, Exhibition Road, London, SW7 2AZ, UK. aut Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics Walter de Gruyter 29/4(2004-12-01), 397-404 0340-0204 29:4<397 2004 29 jnet https://doi.org/10.1515/JNETDY.2004.064 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1515/JNETDY.2004.064 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Faraudo Jordi Departament de Física, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, E-08193 Bellaterra, Barcelona, Spain aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Bresme Fernando Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London, Exhibition Road, London, SW7 2AZ, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics Walter de Gruyter 29/4(2004-12-01), 397-404 0340-0204 29:4<397 2004 29 jnet CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
