Extended Wertheim theory predicts the anomalous chain length distributions of divalent patchy particles under extreme confinement
H. J. Jonas, P. Schall, P. G. Bolhuis
Colloidal patchy particles with divalent attractive interaction can self-assemble into linear polymer chains. Their equilibrium properties in 2D and 3D are well described by Werthe…
Self-assembly of Colloidal Superballs Under Spherical Confinement of a Drying Droplet
Sarah N. Schyck, Janne-Mieke Meijer, Lucia Baldauf +3
Understanding the relationship between colloidal building block shape and self-assembled material structure is important for the development of novel materials by self-assembly. In…
Revealing polymerization kinetics with colloidal dipatch particles
Simon Stuij, Joep Rouwhorst, Hannah Jonas +5
Limited-valency colloidal particles can self-assemble into polymeric structures analogous to molecules. While their structural equilibrium properties have attracted wide attention,…
Self-oscillation and Synchronisation Transitions in Elasto-Active Structures
Ellen Zheng, Martin Brandenbourger, Louis Robinet +3
The interplay between activity and elasticity often found in active and living systems triggers a plethora of autonomous behaviors ranging from self-assembly and collective motion…
Magnetic coupling in colloidal clusters for hierarchical self-assembly
Joe G Donaldson, Peter Schall, Laura Rossi
Manipulating the way in which colloidal particles self-organise is a central challenge in the design of functional soft materials. Meeting this challenge requires the use of buildi…
Nonequilibrium master kinetic equation modelling of colloidal gelation
Joep Rouwhorst, Peter Schall, Christopher Ness +2
We present a detailed study of the kinetic cluster growth process during gelation of weakly attractive colloidal particles by means of experiments on critical Casimir attractive co…
