Overview

Bernard P. Binks is affiliated with the University of Hull in the United Kingdom and has contributed extensively to research in materials science, agricultural and biological sciences, and chemistry. Their scholarly output includes significant work in the areas of materials chemistry, food science, and organic chemistry, with a focus also on surfaces, coatings and films, and condensed matter physics.

The core of Binks's research revolves around the study of Pickering emulsions and particle stabilization. This central theme is complemented by investigations into surfactants and colloidal systems as well as proteins in food systems. Additional topics of interest include micro and nano robotics, surface modification and superhydrophobicity, food chemistry and fat analysis, and advanced polymer synthesis and characterization.

Noteworthy recent papers authored or coauthored by Binks include:

  • Light-Responsive, Reversible Emulsification and Demulsification of Oil-in-Water Pickering Emulsions for Catalysis (2020) published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition
  • Catalysis in Pickering emulsions (2020) published in Soft Matter
  • High internal phase Pickering emulsions (2021) published in Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science
  • Pickering emulsion droplet-based biomimetic microreactors for continuous flow cascade reactions (2022) published in Nature Communications
  • Charge-Reversible Surfactant-Induced Transformation Between Oil-in-Dispersion Emulsions and Pickering Emulsions (2021) published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition

Binks frequently publishes in scientific journals known for colloids and interfaces research, with multiple contributions in Langmuir and the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, each hosting 16 and 15 of their publications respectively. Other prominent venues include Angewandte Chemie International Edition and Angewandte Chemie, both with 7 publications, and Small with 6 publications.

Their collaboration network includes several frequent coauthors, among whom are:

  • Zhenggang Cui, with whom they have published 22 papers
  • Jianzhong Jiang, a coauthor of 20 papers
  • Wanqing Zhang, appearing in 10 joint publications
  • Edward Bormashenko, with 9 collaborations
  • Shraga Shoval, contributing to 8 papers
