Characterizing emergent multiscale dynamics in colloidal nanoparticle gels
William D. Brackett, Zachary M. Sherman, Felix Lehmkühler +2
Colloidal gels assembled from nanoparticles (NPs) are a versatile class of soft network-based materials capable of rich dynamic, mechanical, and even optical or magnetic responses…
Morphological Control of Bundled Actin Networks Subject to Fixed-Mass Depletion
James Clarke, Lauren Melcher, Anne D. Crowell +10
Depletion interactions are thought to significantly contribute to the organization of intracellular structures in the crowded cytosol. The strength of depletion interactions depend…
Dynamics of equilibrium linked colloidal gels
Taejin Kwon, Tanner A. Wilcoxson, Delia J. Milliron +1
Colloids that attractively bond to only a few neighbors (e.g., patchy particles) can form equilibrium gels with distinctive dynamic properties that are stable in time. Here, we use…
Effects of linker flexibility on phase behavior and structure of linked colloidal gels
Michael P. Howard, Zachary M. Sherman, Adithya N Sreenivasan +4
Colloidal nanocrystal gels can be assembled using a difunctional "linker" molecule to mediate bonding between nanocrystals. The conditions for gelation and the structure of the gel…
Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory with double-bond association and its application to colloid-linker mixtures
Michael P. Howard, Zachary M. Sherman, Delia J. Milliron +1
We extend Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory to derive the association free energy of a multicomponent mixture for which double bonds can form between any two pairs of th…
Universal Gelation of Metal Oxide Nanocrystals via Depletion Attractions
Camila A. Saez Cabezas, Zachary M. Sherman, Michael P. Howard +6
Nanocrystal gelation provides a powerful framework to translate nanoscale properties into bulk materials and to engineer emergent properties through the assembled microstructure. H…
