Light-Activated Self-thermophoretic Janus Nanopropellers
Henri Truong, Chiara Moretti, Lionel Buisson +2
Achieving controlled and directed motion of artificial nanoscale systems in three-dimensional fluid environments remains a key-challenge in active matter, primarily due to the prev…
From Lyotropic to Thermotropic Behavior: Solvent-Free Liquid Crystalline Phases in Polymer-Surfactant-Conjugated Rod-shaped Colloidal Viruses
Lohitha R. Hegde, Kamendra P. Sharma, Eric Grelet
Filamentous bacteriophages fd are viral particles, highly monodisperse in size, that have been widely used as a model colloidal system for studying the self-assembly of rod-shaped…
Janus Polymeric Giant Vesicles on Demand: A Predictive Phase Separation Approach for Efficient Formation
Eloise Equy, Emmanuel Ibarboure, Eric Grelet +1
Janus particles, with their intrinsic asymmetry, are attracting major interest in various applications, including emulsion stabilization, micro/nanomotors, imaging, and drug delive…
Unveiling Crystalline Order from Glassy Behavior of Charged Rods at Very Low Salt Concentrations
Hanna Anop, Laura Dal Compare, Frederic Nallet +2
Charged colloids can form ordered structures like Wigner crystals or glasses at very low concentrations due to long-range electrostatic repulsions. Here, we combine small-angle x-r…
Self-diffusion in isotropic and liquid crystalline phases of fd virus colloidal rods: a combined single particle tracking and differential dynamic microscopy study
Eric Grelet, Vincent A. Martinez, Jochen Arlt
In this article, we investigate the dynamics of self-organised suspensions formed by rod-like fd virus colloids. Two methods have been employed for analysing fluorescence microscop…
