Flexible Colloidal Molecules with Directional Bonds and Controlled Flexibility
Yogesh Shelke, Fabrizio Camerin, Susana Marín-Aguilar +3
Colloidal molecules are ideal model systems for mimicking real molecules and can serve as versatile building blocks for the bottom-up self-assembly of flexible and smart materials.…
Brownian motion of flexibly-linked colloidal rings
Ruben Verweij, Julio Melio, Indrani Chakraborty +1
Ring, or cyclic, polymers have unique properties compared to linear polymers, due to their topologically closed structure that has no beginning or end. Experimental measurements on…
Self-assembly dynamics of reconfigurable colloidal molecules
Indrani Chakraborty, Daniel J. G. Pearce, Ruben W. Verweij +3
Colloidal molecules are designed to mimic their molecular analogues through their anisotropic shape and interactions. However, current experimental realizations are missing the str…
Conformations and diffusion of flexibly linked colloidal chains
Ruben W. Verweij, Pepijn G. Moerman, Loes P. P. Huijnen +6
For biologically relevant macromolecules such as intrinsically disordered proteins, internal degrees of freedom that allow for shape changes have a large influence on both the moti…
Dumbbell impurities in 2D crystals of repulsive colloidal spheres induce particle-bound dislocations
Vera Meester, Casper van der Wel, Ruben W. Verweij +2
Impurity-induced defects play a crucial role for the properties of crystals, but little is known about impurities with anisotropic shape. Here, we study how colloidal dumbbells dis…
Height Distribution and Orientation of Colloidal Dumbbells Near a Wall
Ruben W. Verweij, Stefania Ketzetzi, Joost de Graaf +1
Geometric confinement strongly influences the behavior of microparticles in liquid environments. However, to date, nonspherical particle behaviors close to confining boundaries, ev…
Flexibility-induced effects in the Brownian motion of colloidal trimers
Ruben W. Verweij, Pepijn G. Moerman, Nathalie E. G. Ligthart +5
Shape changes resulting from segmental flexibility are ubiquitous in molecular and biological systems, and are expected to affect both the diffusive motion and (biological) functio…
Colloidal supported lipid bilayers for self-assembly
Melissa Rinaldin, Ruben W. Verweij, Indrani Chakraborty +1
The use of colloidal supported lipid bilayers (CSLBs) has recently been extended to create colloidal joints, that - in analogy to their macroscopic counterparts - can flexibly conn…
