Jet-driven viscous locomotion of confined thermoresponsive microgels
Ivan Tanasijević, Oliver Jung, Lyndon Koens +2
We consider the dynamics of micro-sized, asymmetrically-coated thermoresponsive hydrogel ribbons (microgels) under periodic heating and cooling in the confined space between two pl…
A Light-Driven Microgel Rotor
Hang Zhang, Lyndon Koens, Eric Lauga +2
The current understanding of motility through body shape deformation of microorganisms and the knowledge of fluid flows at the microscale provides ample examples for mimicry and de…
The swimming of a deforming helix
Lyndon Koens, Hang Zhang, Martin Moeller +2
Many microorganisms and artificial microswimmers use helical appendages in order to generate locomotion. Though often rotated so as to produce thrust, some species of bacteria such…
Regimes of Wetting Transitions on Superhydrophobic Textures Conditioned by Energy of Receding Contact Lines
Alexander L. Dubov, Ahmed Mourran, Martin Möller +1
We discuss an evaporation-induced wetting transition on superhydrophobic stripes, and show that depending on the elastic energy of the deformed contact line, which determines the v…
Contact Angle Hysteresis on Superhydrophobic Stripes
Alexander L. Dubov, Ahmed Mourran, Martin Möller +1
We study experimentally and discuss quantitatively the contact angle hysteresis on striped superhydrophobic surfaces as a function of a solid fraction, . It is shown that the…
