Diffusion, phase behavior and gelation in a two-dimensional layer of colloids in osmotic equilibrium with a polymer reservoir
Sam E Griffiths, Nick Koumakis, Aidan T Brown +3
The addition of enough non-adsorbing polymer to an otherwise stable colloidal suspension gives rise to a variety of phase behavior and kinetic arrest due to the depletion attractio…
Escherichia coli as a model active colloid: a practical introduction
Jana Schwarz-Linek, Jochen Arlt, Alys Jepson +6
The flagellated bacterium Escherichia coli is increasingly used experimentally as a self-propelled swimmer. To obtain meaningful, quantitative results that are comparable between d…
Self-assembly of "Mickey Mouse" shaped colloids into tube-like structures: experiments and simulations
Joost R. Wolters, Guido Avvisati, Fabian Hagemans +4
The self-assembly of anisotropic patchy particles with triangular shape was studied by experiments and computer simulations. The colloidal particles were synthesized in a two-step…
Self-Assembly of Patchy Colloidal Dumbbells
Guido Avvisati, Teun Vissers, Marjolein Dijkstra
We employ Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the self-assembly of patchy colloidal dumbbells interacting via a modified Kern-Frenkel potential by probing the system concentrati…
Swimming in a Crystal:
Aidan T. Brown, Ioana D. Vladescu, Angela Dawson +4
We study catalytic Janus swimmers and Escherichia coli bacteria swimming in a two-dimensional colloidal crystal. The Janus swimmers orbit individual colloids and hop between colloi…
Rotational averaging-out gravitational sedimentation of colloidal dispersions and phenomena
Djamel El Masri, Teun Vissers, Stephane Badaire +7
We report on the differences between colloidal systems left to evolve in the earth's gravitational field and the same systems for which a slow continuous rotation averaged out the…
Measuring Colloidal Forces from Particle Position Deviations inside an Optical Trap
Djamel El Masri, Peter van Oostrum, Frank Smallenburg +4
We measure interaction forces between pairs of charged PMMA colloidal particles suspended in a relatively low-polar medium (5 8) directly from the deviations o…
Out-of-equilibrium processes in suspensions of oppositely charged colloids: liquid-to-crystal nucleation and gel formation
Eduardo Sanz, Chantal Valeriani, Teun Vissers +5
We study the kinetics of the liquid-to-crystal transformation and of gel formation in colloidal suspensions of oppositely charged particles. We analyse, by means of both computer s…
