Liquid-crystal enabled electrophoresis: Scenarios for driving and reconfigurable assembling of colloids
S. Hernàndez-Navarro, P. Tierno, J. Ignés-Mullol +1
We demonstrate several examples of driving and steering of colloids when dispersed in nematic liquid crystals. The driving mechanism is based on the principle of nonlinear electrop…
Reconfigurable swarms of colloidal particles electrophoretically drivenin nematic liquid crystals
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
We present experiments where anisometric colloidal microparticles dispersed in a nematic liquid crystal cell with homeotropic anchoring conditions are dynamically assembled by mean…
Nematic Colloidal Swarms Assembled and Transported on Photosensitive Surfaces
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
We demonstrate a novel method to assemble and transport swarms of colloidal particles by combining liquid crystals enabled electrophoresis and photo-sensitive surface patterning. C…
Reconfigurable assembly of nematic colloids commanded by photoactivated surface patterns
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
Different phoretic driving mechanisms have been proposed for the transport of solid or liquid microscopic inclusions in integrated chemical processes. However, the ability to rever…
