Hot Brownian Motion of thermoresponsive microgels in optical tweezers shows discontinuous volume phase transition and bistability
Miguel Angel Fernandez-Rodriguez, Sergio Orozco-Barrera, Wei Sun +4
Microgels are soft microparticles that often exhibit thermoresponsiveness and feature a transformation at a critical temperature, referred to as the volume phase transition tempera…
Tuning the bulk behavior and 2D interfacial self-assembly of microgels by Keggin-type polyoxometalate ionic specificity
Antonio Rubio-Andrés, Delfi Bastos-González, Miguel Angel Fernandez-Rodriguez
Finding new ways to tune the behavior of thermoresponsive microgels in bulk and confined at 2D liquid interfaces is key to achieve a deeper understanding and control of these smart…
Near-zero surface pressure assembly of rectangular lattices of microgels at fluid interfaces for colloidal lithography
Miguel Angel Fernandez-Rodriguez, Maria-Nefeli Antonopoulou, Lucio Isa
Understanding and engineering the self-assembly of soft colloidal particles (microgels) at liquid-liquid interfaces is broadening their use in colloidal lithography. Here, we prese…
Reconfigurable Artificial Microswimmers with Internal Feedback
L. Alvarez, M. A. Fernandez-Rodriguez, A. Alegria +4
Micron-size self-propelling particles are often proposed as synthetic models for biological microswimmers, yet they lack internally regulated adaptation, which is central to the au…
Self-Templating Assembly of Soft Microparticles into Complex Tessellations
Fabio Grillo, Miguel-Angel Fernandez-Rodriguez, Maria-Nefeli Antonopoulou +2
Self-assembled monolayers of microparticles encoding Archimedean and non-regular tessellations promise unprecedented structure-property relationships for a wide spectrum of applica…
Active Brownian motion with orientation-dependent motility: theory and experiments
Alexander R. Sprenger, Miguel Angel Fernandez-Rodriguez, Laura Alvarez +3
Combining experiments on active colloids, whose propulsion velocity can be controlled via a feedback loop, and theory of active Brownian motion, we explore the dynamics of an overd…
Feedback-Controlled Active Brownian Colloids with Space-Dependent Rotational Dynamics
Miguel Angel Fernandez-Rodriguez, Fabio Grillo, Laura Alvarez +4
The non-thermal nature of self-propelling colloids offers new insights into non-equilibrium physics. The central mathematical model to describe their trajectories is active Brownia…
Microgels Adsorbed at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces: A Joint Numerical and Experimental Study
Fabrizio Camerin, Miguel Angel Fernandez-Rodriguez, Lorenzo Rovigatti +5
Soft particles display highly versatile properties with respect to hard colloids, even more so at fluid-fluid interfaces. In particular, microgels, consisting of a cross-linked pol…
