Elementary edge and screw dislocations visualized at the lattice periodicity level in smectic phase of colloidal rods
Andrii Repula, Eric Grelet
We report on the identification and quantitative characterization of elementary edge and screw dislocations in a colloidal smectic phase of tip-labeled rods. Thanks to the micromet…
M13-phage-based star-shaped particles with internal flexibility
A. B. Zavala-Martinez, Eric Grelet
We report on the construction and the dynamics of monodisperse star-shaped particles, mimicking, at the mesoscale, star polymers. Such multi-arm star-like particles result from the…
Janus Polymeric Giant Vesicles on Demand: A Predictive Phase Separation Approach for Efficient Formation
Eloise Equy, Emmanuel Ibarboure, Eric Grelet +1
Janus particles, with their intrinsic asymmetry, are attracting major interest in various applications, including emulsion stabilization, micro/nanomotors, imaging, and drug delive…
Rod-Like Virus-Based Multiarm Colloidal Molecules
Alexis de la Cotte, Cheng Wu, Marie Trevisan +2
We report on the construction of multiarm colloidal molecules by tip-linking filamentous bacteriophages, functionalized either by biological engineering or chemical conjugation. Th…
Unveiling Crystalline Order from Glassy Behavior of Charged Rods at Very Low Salt Concentrations
Hanna Anop, Laura Dal Compare, Frederic Nallet +2
Charged colloids can form ordered structures like Wigner crystals or glasses at very low concentrations due to long-range electrostatic repulsions. Here, we combine small-angle x-r…
Synthesis of achiral rod-shaped triazolic molecules and investigation of their striped texture and propeller-patterned nematic droplets
Souria Benalloua, Salima Saidi-Besbes, Abdelatif Bouyacoub +1
In this study, novel achiral mesogens containing 4,4'-biphenyl central core connected on both sides through an ester function to 1-(4-(alkyloxy)phenyl)-1H-[1,2,3]-triazolyl group h…
