Structuring in Thin Films during Meniscus-Guided Deposition

René de Bruijn, Anton A. Darhuber, Jasper J. Michels +1

We study theoretically the evaporation-driven phase separation of a binary fluid mixture in a thin film deposited on a moving substrate, as occurs in meniscus-guided deposition for…

Dynamics of elongation of nematic tactoids in an electric field

Mohammadamin Safdari, Roya Zandi, Paul van der Schoot

Nematic tactoids are spindle-shaped droplets of a nematic phase nucleated in the co-existing isotropic phase. According to equilibrium theory, their internal structure and shape ar…

Electrostatic theory of the acidity of the solution in the lumina of viruses and virus-like particles

H. J. Muhren, Paul van der Schoot

Recently, Maassen et al. measured an appreciable pH difference between the bulk solution and the solution in the lumen of virus-like particles, self-assembled in an aqueous buffer…

The dynamics of viruslike capsid assembly and disassembly

Suzanne B. P. E. Timmermans, Alireza Ramezani, Toni Montalvo +4

Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) is a widely used model for virus replication studies. A major challenge lies in distinguishing between the roles of the interaction between coa…

Controlled gel expansion through colloid oscillation

Guido L. A. Kusters, Cornelis Storm, Paul van der Schoot

We model the behaviour of a single colloid embedded in a cross-linked polymer gel, immersed in a viscous background fluid. External fields actuate the particle into a periodic moti…

Transient response and domain formation in electrically deforming liquid crystal networks

Guido L. A. Kusters, Paul van der Schoot, Cornelis Storm

Recently, Van der Kooij and co-workers recognised three distinct, transient regimes in the dynamics of electrically-deforming liquid crystal networks [Van der Kooij et al., Nat. Co…
