Marangoni droplets of dextran in PEG solution and its motile change due to coil-globule transition of coexisting DNA
Tomohiro Furuki, Hiroki Sakuta, Naoya Yanagisawa +4
Motile droplets using Marangoni convection are attracting attention for their potential as cell-mimicking small robots. However, the motion of droplets relative to the internal and…
Cell-sized confinements alter molecular diffusion in concentrated polymer solutions due to length-dependent wetting of polymers
Yuki Kanakubo, Chiho Watanabe, Johtaro Yamamoto +3
Living cells are characterized by the micrometric confinement of various macromolecules at high concentrations. Using droplets containing binary polymer blends as artificial cells,…
Confinement-induced fractionation and liquid-liquid phase separation of polymer mixtures
Arash Nikoubashman, Miho Yanagisawa
The formation of (bio)molecular condensates via liquid-liquid phase separation in cells has received increasing attention, as these coacervates play important functional and regula…
Common Packing Patterns for Jammed Particles of Different Power Size Distributions
Daisuke Shimamoto, Miho Yanagisawa
We introduce a model for particles that are extremely polydisperse in size compared to monodisperse and bidisperse systems. In two dimensions (2D), size polydispersity inhibits cry…
