Kinetics of isotropic to string-like phase switching in electrorheological fluids of nanocubes
Luca Tonti, Fabián Alonso García Daza, Alessandro Patti
Applying an electric field to polarisable colloidal particles, whose permittivity differs from that of the dispersing medium, generates induced dipoles that promote the formation o…
Active microrheology of colloidal suspensions of hard cuboids
Effran Mirzad Rafael, Luca Tonti, Fabián A. García Daza +1
By performing dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the microrheology of isotropic suspensions of hard-core colloidal cuboids. In particular, we infer the local viscoelas…
Diffusion of Globular Macromolecules in Liquid Crystals of Colloidal Cuboids
Luca Tonti, Fabián A. García Daza, Alessandro Patti
Macromolecular diffusion in dense colloidal suspensions is an intriguing topic of interdisciplinary relevance in Science and Engineering. While significant efforts have been undert…
Dynamics of Uniaxial-to-Biaxial Nematics Switching in Suspensions of Hard Cuboids
Effran Mirzad Rafael, Luca Tonti, Daniel Corbett +2
Field-induced reorientation of colloidal particles is especially relevant to manipulate the optical properties of a nanomaterial for target applications. We have recently shown tha…
