Gradient-driven diffusion and pattern formation in crowded mixtures
Prithviraj Nandigrami, Brandy Grove, Andrew Konya +1
Gradient-driven diffusion in crowded, multicomponent mixtures is a topic of high interest because of its role in biological processes such as transport in cell membranes. In partia…
Modeling Defects, Shape Evolution, and Programmed Auto-origami in Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Andrew Konya, Vianney Gimenez-Pinto, Robin Selinger
Liquid crystal elastomers represent a novel class of programmable shape-transforming materials whose shape change trajectory is encoded in the material's nematic director field. Us…
Brownian Motion of Arbitrarily Shaped Particles in Two-Dimensions
Ayan Chakrabarty, Andrew Konya, Feng Wang +3
Here we implement microfabricated boomerang particles with unequal arm lengths as a model for non-symmetry particles and study their Brownian motion in a quasi-two dimensional geom…
Brownian Motion of Boomerang Colloidal Particles
Ayan Chakrabarty, Andrew Konya, Feng Wang +3
We investigate the Brownian motion of boomerang colloidal particles confined between two glass plates. Our experimental observations show that the mean displacements are biased tow…
