Two-stage assembly of patchy ellipses: From bent-core particlesto liquid crystal analogs
Anuj Kumar Singh, Arunkumar Bupathy, Jenis Thongam +3
We investigate the two-dimensional behavior of colloidal patchy ellipsoids specifically designed to follow a two-step assembly process from the monomer state to mesoscopic liquid-c…
Inverse patchy colloids: synthesis, modeling and self-organization
Emanuela Bianchi, Peter D. J. van Oostrum, Christos N. Likos +1
Inverse patchy colloids are nano- to micro-scale particles with a surface divided into differently charged regions. This class of colloids combines directional, selective bonding w…
Hierarchical self-assembly of anisotropic colloidal platelets
Carina Karner, Christoph Dellago, Emanuela Bianchi
Anisotropy at the level of the inter-particle interaction provides the particles with specific instructions for the self-assembly of target structures. The ability to synthesize no…
How patchiness controls the properties of chain-like assemblies of colloidal platelets
Carina Karner, Christoph Dellago, Emanuela Bianchi
Patchy colloidal platelets with convex, non-spherical shapes have been realized with different materials at length scales ranging from nanometers to microns. While the assembly of…
Design of patchy rhombi: from close-packed tilings to open lattices
Carina Karner, Emanuela Bianchi, Christoph Dellago
In the realm of functional materials, the production of two-dimensional structures with tuneable porosity is of paramount relevance for many practical applications: surfaces with r…
Tuning the order of colloidal monolayers: assembly of heterogeneously charged colloids close to a patterned substrate
Emanuele Locatelli, Emanuela Bianchi
We study the behavior of negatively charged colloids with two positively charged polar caps close to a planar patterned surface. The competition between the different anisotropic c…
