Cooperative transitions involving hydrophobic polyelectrolytes
James L. Martin Robinson, Willem. K Kegel
Hydrophobic polyelectrolytes (HPE) can solubilize bilayer membranes, form micelles or can reversibly aggregate as a function of pH. The transitions are often remarkably sharp. We s…
Emulsion Destabilization by Squeeze Flow
Riande I Dekker, Antoine Deblais, Krassimir P Velikov +5
There is a large debate on the destabilization mechanism of emulsions. We present a simple technique using mechanical compression to destabilize oil-in-water emulsions. Upon compre…
Conformations and diffusion of flexibly linked colloidal chains
Ruben W. Verweij, Pepijn G. Moerman, Loes P. P. Huijnen +6
For biologically relevant macromolecules such as intrinsically disordered proteins, internal degrees of freedom that allow for shape changes have a large influence on both the moti…
Flexibility-induced effects in the Brownian motion of colloidal trimers
Ruben W. Verweij, Pepijn G. Moerman, Nathalie E. G. Ligthart +5
Shape changes resulting from segmental flexibility are ubiquitous in molecular and biological systems, and are expected to affect both the diffusive motion and (biological) functio…
Predator-Prey Interactions between Droplets Driven by Nonreciprocal Oil Exchange
Caleb H. Meredith, Pepijn G. Moerman, Jan Groenewold +4
Chemotactic interactions are ubiquitous in nature and can lead to nonreciprocal and complex emergent behavior in multibody systems. Here we show how chemotactic signaling between m…
Phoretic Interactions Between Active Droplets
Pepijn G. Moerman, Henrique W. Moyses, Ernest B. van der Wee +5
Concentration gradients play a critical role in embryogenesis, bacterial locomotion, as well as the motility of active particles. Particles develop concentration profiles around th…
Self-assembly of Microcapsules via Colloidal Bond Hybridization and Anisotropy
Chris H. J. Evers, Jurriaan A. Luiken, Peter G. Bolhuis +1
Particles with directional interactions are promising building blocks for new functional materials and may serve as models for biological structures. Mutually attractive nanopartic…
Self-assembly of "Mickey Mouse" shaped colloids into tube-like structures: experiments and simulations
Joost R. Wolters, Guido Avvisati, Fabian Hagemans +4
The self-assembly of anisotropic patchy particles with triangular shape was studied by experiments and computer simulations. The colloidal particles were synthesized in a two-step…
Rotational averaging-out gravitational sedimentation of colloidal dispersions and phenomena
Djamel El Masri, Teun Vissers, Stephane Badaire +7
We report on the differences between colloidal systems left to evolve in the earth's gravitational field and the same systems for which a slow continuous rotation averaged out the…
