Snapping elastic disks as microswimmers: swimming at low Reynolds numbers by shape hysteresis
Christian Wischnewski, Jan Kierfeld
We illustrate a concept for shape-changing microswimmers, which exploits the hysteresis of a shape transition of an elastic object, by an elastic disk undergoing cyclic localized s…

Strong deformation of ferrofluid-filled elastic alginate capsules in inhomogenous magnetic fields
Christian Wischnewski, Elena Zwar, Heinz Rehage +1
We present a new system based on alginate gels for the encapsulation of a ferrofluid drop, which allows us to create millimeter-sized elastic capsules that are highly deformable by…

Spheroidal and conical shapes of ferrofluid-filled capsules in magnetic fields
Christian Wischnewski, Jan Kierfeld
We investigate the deformation of soft spherical elastic capsules filled with a ferrofluid in external uniform magnetic fields at fixed volume by a combination of numerical and ana…
