Humidity-induced glass transition of a polyelectrolyte brush creates switchable friction in air
Stephen Merriman, Saranshu Singla, Ali Dhinojwala
Polymer brushes have found extensive applications as responsive surfaces, particularly in achieving tunable friction in solvent environments. Despite recent interest in extending t…
Mechanism of Structural Colors in Binary Mixtures of Nanoparticle-based Supraballs
Christian M. Heil, Anvay Patil, Bram Vanthournout +9
Inspired by structural colors in avian species, various synthetic strategies have been developed to produce non-iridescent, saturated colors using nanoparticle assemblies. Mixtures…
Modeling Structural Colors from Disordered One-Component Colloidal Nanoparticle-based Supraballs using Combined Experimental and Simulation Techniques
Anvay Patil, Christian M. Heil, Bram Vanthournout +8
Bright, saturated structural colors in birds have inspired synthesis of self-assembled, disordered arrays of assembled nanoparticles with varied particle spacings and refractive in…
Structural Color Production in Melanin-based Disordered Colloidal Nanoparticle Assemblies in Spherical Confinement
Anvay Patil, Christian M. Heil, Bram Vanthournout +8
Melanin is a ubiquitous natural pigment that exhibits broadband absorption and high refractive index. Despite its widespread use in structural color production, how the absorbing m…
Transition in the Acid-Base Component of Surface Free Energy of Ice upon the Premelting of its Second Molecular Bilayer
Nathaniel Orndorf, Saranshu Singla, Ali Dhinojwala
Molecular disordering of the ice surface occurs below the bulk melting temperature of 273 K, termed surface premelting. The top-most molecular layer begins gradually premelting at…
