Water rolling and floating upon water: marbles supported by a water/marble interface

J Colloid Interface Sci. 2009 May 1;333(1):419-21. doi: 10.1016/j.jcis.2008.09.079. Epub 2008 Oct 6.

Abstract

Floating of liquid marbles on a water/air interface was studied. The critical density allowing floating marbles containing NaCl solution was established experimentally and compared with its calculated value. A satisfactory agreement between experimental and theoretical values of the critical density is reported.
