Direct Assembly of Magnetic Janus Particles at a Droplet Interface
Qingguang Xie, Gary B. Davies, Jens Harting
Self-assembly of nanoparticles at fluid-fluid interfaces is a promising route to fabricate functional materials from the bottom-up. However, directing and controlling particles int…
Controlled Capillary Assembly of Magnetic Janus Particles at Fluid-Fluid Interfaces
Qingguang Xie, Gary B. Davies, Jens Harting
Capillary interactions can be used to direct assembly of particles adsorbed at fluid-fluid interfaces. Precisely controlling the magnitude and direction of capillary interactions t…
Selective Trapping of DNA using Glass Microcapillaries
Georg Rempfer, Sascha Ehrhardt, Nadanai Laohakunakorn +4
We show experimentally that a cheap glass microcapillary can accumulate λ-phage DNA at its tip and deliver the DNA into the capillary using a combination of electro-osmotic flow, p…
Limiting Spurious Flow in Simulations of Electrokinetic Phenomena
Georg Rempfer, Gary B. Davies, Christian Holm +1
Electrokinetic transport phenomena can strongly influence the behaviour of macromolecules and colloidal particles in solution, with applications in, e.g., DNA translocation through…
Dipolar Capillary Interactions between Tilted Ellipsoidal Particles Adsorbed at Fluid-Fluid Interfaces
Gary B. Davies, Lorenzo Botto
Capillary interactions have emerged as a tool for the directed assembly of particles adsorbed at fluid-fluid interfaces, and play a role in controlling the mechanical properties of…
Tunable Dipolar Capillary Deformations for Magnetic Janus Particles at Fluid-Fluid Interfaces
Qingguang Xie, Gary B. Davies, Florian Günther +1
Janus particles have attracted significant interest as building blocks for complex materials in recent years. Furthermore, capillary interactions have been identified as a promisin…
Assembling Ellipsoidal Particles at Fluid Interfaces using Switchable Dipolar Capillary Interactions
Gary B. Davies, Timm Krueger, Peter V. Coveney +2
The fabrication of novel soft materials is an important scientific and technological challenge. We investigate the response of magnetic ellipsoidal particles adsorbed at fluid-flui…
Detachment Energies of Spheroidal Particles from Fluid-Fluid Interfaces
Gary B. Davies, Timm Krüger, Peter V. Coveney +1
The energy required to detach a single particle from a fluid-fluid interface is an important parameter for designing certain soft materials, for example, emulsions stabilised by co…
Interface deformations affect the orientation transition of magnetic ellipsoidal particles adsorbed at fluid-fluid interfaces
Gary B. Davies, Timm Krüger, Peter V. Coveney +2
Manufacturing new soft materials with specific optical, mechanical and magnetic properties is a significant challenge. Assembling and manipulating colloidal particles at fluid inte…
