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…
Chiral molecules on curved colloidal membranes
Sk Ashif Akram, Arabinda Behera, Prerna Sharma +1
Colloidal membranes, self assembled monolayers of aligned rod like molecules, offer a template for designing membranes with definite shapes and curvature, and possibly new function…
Strong confinement of active microalgae leads to inversion of vortex flow and enhanced mixing
Debasmita Mondal, Ameya G. Prabhune, Sriram Ramaswamy +1
Microorganisms swimming through viscous fluids imprint their propulsion mechanisms in the flow fields they generate. Extreme confinement of these swimmers between rigid boundaries…
All twist and no bend makes raft edges splay: Spontaneous curvature of domain edges in colloidal membranes
Joia M. Miller, Doug Hall, Joanna Robaszewski +4
Using a combination of theory and experiments we study the interface between two immiscible domains in a colloidal membrane composed of rigid rods of different lengths. Geometric c…
Structure, dynamics and phase behavior of short rod inclusions dissolved in a colloidal membrane
Mahsa Siavashpouri, Prerna Sharma, Jerome Fung +2
Inclusions dissolved in an anisotropic quasi-2D membrane acquire new types of interactions that can drive assembly of complex structures and patterns. We study colloidal membranes…
Equation of State of Colloidal Membranes
Andrew J. Balchunas, Rafael A. Cabanas, Mark J. Zakhary +5
In the presence of a non-adsorbing polymer, monodisperse rod-like colloids assemble into one-rod-length thick liquid-like monolayers, called colloidal membranes. The density of the…
