Buckling of a monolayer of plate-like particles trapped at a fluid-fluid interface

Suriya Prakash, Hugo Perrin, Lorenzo Botto

Particles trapped at a fluid-fluid interface by capillary forces can form a monolayer that jams and buckles when subject to uni-axial compression. Here we investigate experimentall…

Hydrodynamic interactions change the buckling threshold of parallel flexible sheets in shear flow

Hugo Perrin, Heng Li, Lorenzo Botto

Buckling induced by viscous flow changes the shape of sheet-like nanomaterial particles suspended in liquids. This instability at the particle scale affects collective behavior of…

Analysis and optimization of a multicascade method for the size fractionation of poly-dispersed particle systems via sedimentation or centrifugation

Heng Li, Lucas Beetsma, Suriya Prakash +2

Sedimentation and centrifugation can be used to sort particles by size, using a multistep (multicascade) method in which particles in the sediment are removed and the content of th…

Towards nanomechanical models of liquid-phase exfoliation of layered 2D nanomaterials: analysis of a -peel model

Lorenzo Botto

In liquid-phase exfoliation for the production of 2D nanomaterials fluid forces are used to gently overcome adhesive interlayer forces, leading to single- or few-layer 2D nanomater…

Liquid exfoliation of multilayer graphene in sheared solvents: a molecular dynamics investigation

Simon Gravelle, Catherine Kamal, Lorenzo Botto

Liquid-phase exfoliation, the use of a sheared liquid to delaminate graphite into few-layer graphene, is a promising technique for the large-scale production of graphene. But the m…
