Shapes, forces, and torques of compressed elastic fluid interfaces: beyond axisymmetric configurations
Xinyi Liu, Neelesh A. Patankar, Leroy L. Jia
Inspired by the classical Plateau-Douglas problem for soap films bounded by two closed curves, we solve an analogous problem for fluid interfaces with fixed surface area and resist…
Topology and Kinetic Pathways of Colloidosome Assembly and Disassembly
Raymond Adkins, Joanna Robaszewski, Seungwoo Shin +7
Liquid shells, such as lipid vesicles and soap bubbles, are ubiquitous throughout biology, engineered matter, and everyday life. Their creation and disintegration are defined by a…
Controlling the shape and topology of two-component colloidal membranes
Ayantika Khanra, Leroy L. Jia, Noah P. Mitchell +5
Changes in the geometry and topology of self-assembled membranes underlie diverse processes across cellular biology and engineering. Similar to lipid bilayers, monolayer colloidal…
Incompressible active phases at an interface. I. Formulation and axisymmetric odd flows
Leroy L. Jia, William T. M. Irvine, Michael J. Shelley
Inspired by the recent realization of a 2D chiral fluid as an active monolayer droplet moving atop a 3D Stokesian fluid, we formulate mathematically its free-boundary dynamics. The…
The role of monolayer viscosity in Langmuir film hole closure dynamics
Leroy L. Jia, Michael J. Shelley
We re-examine the model proposed by Alexander et al. (2006) for the closing of a circular hole in a molecularly thin incompressible Langmuir film situated on a Stokesian subfluid.…
Axisymmetric membranes with edges under external force: buckling, minimal surfaces, and tethers
Leroy L. Jia, Steven Pei, Robert A. Pelcovits +1
We use theory and numerical computation to determine the shape of an axisymmetric fluid membrane with a resistance to bending and constant area. The membrane connects two rings in…
Force induced formation of twisted chiral ribbons
Andrew Balchunas, Leroy L. Jia, Mark Zakhary +3
We study the emergence of helical structures subjected to a stretching force, demonstrating that the force transforms disk-shaped colloidal membranes into twisted chiral ribbons of…
Chiral edge fluctuations of colloidal membranes
Leroy L. Jia, Mark J. Zakhary, Zvonimir Dogic +2
We study edge fluctuations of a flat colloidal membrane comprised of a monolayer of aligned filamentous viruses. Experiments reveal that a peak in the spectrum of the in-plane edge…
