Microrheology of DNA Hydrogels
Zhongyang Xing, Alessio Caciagli, Tianyang Cao +7
A key objective in DNA-based material science is understanding and precisely controlling the mechanical properties of DNA hydrogels. We perform microrheology measurements using dif…
DNA-coated Functional Oil Droplets
Alessio Caciagli, Mykolas Zupkauskas, Aviad Levin +6
Many industrial soft materials often include oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions at the core of their formulations. By using tuneable interface stabilizing agents, such emulsions can self…
Liquid crystalline behaviour of self-assembled Laponite PLL-PEG nanocomposites
Peicheng Xu, Yang Lan, Zhongyang Xing +1
Synthetic Laponite-clay particles with platelet-like shape display strong aging when dispersed in aqueous solutions, preventing latter from reaching their natural liquid-crystallin…
A Unified Description of Colloidal Thermophoresis
Jerome Burelbach, Daan Frenkel, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +1
We use the dynamic length and time scale separation in suspensions to formulate a general description of colloidal thermophoresis. Our approach allows an unambiguous definition of…
Colloidal Motion under the Action of a Thermophoretic Force
Jerome Burelbach, Mykolas Zupkauskas, Robin Lamboll +2
We present thermophoretic measurements in aqueous suspensions of three different polystyrene (PS) particles of varying negative charge, size and surface coating. Our measurement te…
Optical trapping of colloids at a liquid-liquid interface
Alessio Caciagli, Darshana Joshi, Jurij Kotar +1
We demonstrate the realization of (laterally) optically bounded colloidal structures on a liquid-liquid interface of an emulsion droplet. We use DNA tethers to graft the particles…
