Rational design and dynamics of self-propelled colloidal bead chains: from rotators to flagella
Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri, Bram Bet, René van Roij +2
The quest for designing new self-propelled colloids is fuelled by the demand for simple experimental models to study the collective behaviour of their more complex natural counterp…
Connectedness percolation of hard deformed rods
Tara Drwenski, Simone Dussi, Marjolein Dijkstra +2
Nanofiller particles, such as carbon nanotubes or metal wires, are used in functional polymer composites to make them conduct electricity. They are often not perfectly straight cyl…
Tuning the motility and directionality of self-propelled colloids
Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Sela Samin, Celia Lozano +3
Microorganisms are able to overcome the thermal randomness of their surroundings by harvesting energy to navigate in viscous fluid environments. In a similar manner, synthetic coll…
Coulometry and Calorimetry of Electric Double Layer Formation in Porous Electrodes
Mathijs Janssen, Elian Griffioen, P. M. Biesheuvel +2
Coulometric measurements on salt-water-immersed nanoporous carbon electrodes reveal, at a fixed voltage, a charge decrease with increasing temperature. During far-out-of-equilibriu…
Solvo-osmotic flow in electrolytic mixtures
Sela Samin, René van Roij
We show that an electric field parallel to an electrically neutral surface can generate flow of electrolytic mixtures in small channels. We term this solvo-osmotic flow, since the…
Colloid-oil-water-interface interactions in the presence of multiple salts: charge regulation and dynamics
Jeffrey C. Everts, Sela Samin, Nina. A. Elbers +3
We theoretically and experimentally investigate colloid-oil-water-interface interactions of charged, sterically stabilized, poly(methyl-methacrylate) colloidal particles dispersed…
