Capillary-Driven Self-Assembly of Soft Ellipsoidal Microgels at the Air–Water Interface Research Background The adsorption of colloidal particles at fluid interfaces (such as the air–water interface) induces interfacial deformation, leading to anisotropic interface-mediated interactions and the formation of superstructures. Soft ellipsoidal microge...
