Spontaneous symmetry breaking induced unidirectional rotation of chain-grafted colloid in the active bath
Hui-shu Li, Chao Wang, Kang Chen +2
Exploiting the energy of randomly moving active agents such as bacteria is a fascinating way to power a microdevice. Here we show, by simulations, that a chain-grafted disk-like co…

Layer-by-layer assembly of colloidal particles deposited onto the polymer-grafted elastic substrate
Kang Chen, Yu-qiang Ma
We demonstrate a novel route of spatially organizing the colloid arrangements on the polymer-grafted substrate by use of self-consistent field and density functional theories. We f…

Interactions between colloidal particles induced by polymer brushes grafted onto the substrate
Kang Chen, Yu-qiang Ma
We investigate the interaction energy between two colloidal particles on or immersed in nonadsorbing polymer brushes grafted onto the substrate as a function of the separation of t…
