Equation of State of Colloidal Membranes
Andrew J. Balchunas, Rafael A. Cabanas, Mark J. Zakhary +5
In the presence of a non-adsorbing polymer, monodisperse rod-like colloids assemble into one-rod-length thick liquid-like monolayers, called colloidal membranes. The density of the…

Force induced formation of twisted chiral ribbons
Andrew Balchunas, Leroy L. Jia, Mark Zakhary +3
We study the emergence of helical structures subjected to a stretching force, demonstrating that the force transforms disk-shaped colloidal membranes into twisted chiral ribbons of…
