Hydrodynamic Mechanism of Colloidal Propulsion through Momentum Exchange
Javier Diaz, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Carles Calero
Propulsion of colloidal particles due to momentum transfer from localized surface reactions is investigated by solving the exact unsteady Stokes equation. We model the effect of su…
Active droplets controlled by enzymatic reactions
Jacques Fries, Javier Diaz, Marie Jardat +3
The formation of condensates is now considered as a major organization principle of eukaryotic cells. Several studies have recently shown that the properties of these condensates a…
Active particles confined in deformable droplets
Javier Diaz, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Active particles under soft confinement such as droplets or vesicles present intriguing phenomena, as collective motion emerges alongside the deformation of the environment. A mode…
Activity-driven emulsification of phase-separating binary mixtures
Javier Diaz, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Systems containing active components are intrinsically out of equilibrium, while binary mixtures reach their equilibrium configuration when complete phase separation is achieved. A…
Phase behaviour of active particles in block copolymer melts
Javier Diaz, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
Block copolymer melts offer a unique template to control the position and alignment of nanoparticles due to their ability to self-assemble into periodic ordered structures. Active…
Block copolymer-nanorod co-assembly in thin films: effects of rod-rod interaction and confinement
Javier Diaz, Marco Pinna, Andrei V. Zvelindovsky +2
Simulations and experiments of nanorods (NRs) show that co-assembly with block copolymer (BCP) melts leads to the formation of a superstructure of side-to-side NRs perpendicular to…
