Substrate contact angle governs microgel shape, stiffness and deposition pattern
M. Friederike Schulte, Sebastian S. Meyer, Timon Kratzenberg +7
Soft microgels are widely used as deformable building blocks for two-dimensional assemblies, yet solid substrates are often treated as passive supports after interfacial deposition…
Light-propelled microparticles based on symmetry-broken refractive index profiles
Julian Jeggle, Matthias Rüschenbaum, Adrian Paskert +7
Active colloidal microparticles require reliable actuation to sustain directed motion. Light-based propulsion is particularly attractive as it provides persistent energy supply and…
Programmable self-assembly of core-shell ellipsoids at liquid interfaces
Jack Eatson, Susann Bauernfeind, Benjamin Midtvedt +9
Ellipsoidal particles confined at liquid interfaces exhibit complex self-assembly behaviour due to quadrupolar capillary interactions induced by meniscus deformation. These interac…
Light, Matter, Action: Shining light on active matter
Marcel Rey, Giovanni Volpe, Giorgio Volpe
Light carries energy and momentum. It can therefore alter the motion of objects from atomic to astronomical scales. Being widely available, readily controllable and broadly biocomp…
Changing the flow profile and resulting drying pattern of dispersion droplets via contact angle modification
Carmen Morcillo Perez, Benjamin D. Goddard, Theo Reid +4
Spilling tea or coffee leads to a tell-tale circular stain after the droplet dries, known as the "coffee ring effect". The evaporation of suspension droplets is a complex physical…
Interface-induced hysteretic volume phase transition of microgels: simulation and experiment
Jannis Kolker, Johannes Harrer, Simone Ciarella +5
Thermo-responsive microgel particles can exhibit a drastic volume shrinkage upon increasing the solvent temperature. Recently we found that the spreading of poly(N-isopropylacrylam…
Contactless Interfacial Rheology: Probing Shear at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces without an Interfacial Geometry via Fluorescence Microscopy
Iain Muntz, James A. Richards, Sam Brown +3
Interfacial rheology is important for understanding properties such as Pickering emulsion or foam stability. Currently, the response is measured using a probe directly attached to…
Soft particles at liquid interfaces: From molecular particle architecture to collective phase behavior
Simone Ciarella, Marcel Rey, Johannes Harrer +5
Soft particles such as microgels and core-shell particles can undergo significant and anisotropic deformations when adsorbed to a liquid interface. This, in turn, leads to a comple…
Pattern formation in two-dimensional hard-core/soft-shell systems with variable soft shell profiles
Walter R. C. Somerville, Adam D. Law, Marcel Rey +3
Hard-core/soft shell (HCSS) particles have been shown to self-assemble into a remarkably rich variety of structures under compression due to the simple interplay between the hard-c…
Stimuli-responsive behavior of PNiPAm microgels under interfacial confinement
Johannes Harrer, Marcel Rey, Simone Ciarella +3
The volume phase transition of microgels is one of the most paradigmatic examples of stimuli-responsiveness, enabling a collapse from a highly swollen microgel state into a densely…
