Calculating the motion of highly confined, arbitrary-shaped particles in Hele-Shaw channels

Bram Bet, Rumen Georgiev, William Uspal +3

We combine theory, numerical calculations, and experiments to accurately predict the motion of anisotropic particles in shallow microfluidic channels, in which the particles are st…

Tuning the motility and directionality of self-propelled colloids

Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Sela Samin, Celia Lozano +3

Microorganisms are able to overcome the thermal randomness of their surroundings by harvesting energy to navigate in viscous fluid environments. In a similar manner, synthetic coll…

Microphase separation in oil-water mixtures containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic ions

Nikos Tasios, Sela Samin, René van Roij +1

We develop a lattice-based Monte Carlo simulation method for charged mixtures capable of treating dielectric heterogeneities. Using this method, we study oil-water mixtures contain…

Solvo-osmotic flow in electrolytic mixtures

Sela Samin, René van Roij

We show that an electric field parallel to an electrically neutral surface can generate flow of electrolytic mixtures in small channels. We term this solvo-osmotic flow, since the…

Colloid-oil-water-interface interactions in the presence of multiple salts: charge regulation and dynamics

Jeffrey C. Everts, Sela Samin, Nina. A. Elbers +3

We theoretically and experimentally investigate colloid-oil-water-interface interactions of charged, sterically stabilized, poly(methyl-methacrylate) colloidal particles dispersed…
