Dynamic Light Scattering based microrheology of End-functionalised triblock copolymer solutions
Ren Liu, Alessio Caciagli, Jiaming Yu +3
'Soft' patchy surfactant micelles have become an additional building tool in self-assembling systems. The triblock copolymer, Pluronic F108, forms spherical micelles in aqueous sol…
Kinetically limited valence of colloidal particles with surface mobile DNA linkers
Pedro A. Sánchez, Alessio Caciagli, Sofia S. Kantorovich +1
We characterize the self-assembly of colloidal particles with surface mobile DNA linkers under kinetically limited valence conditions. For this, we put forward a computer simulatio…
Controlled Optofluidic Crystallization of Colloids Tethered at Interfaces
Alessio Caciagli, Rajesh Singh, Darshana Joshi +2
We report experiments that show rapid crystallization of colloids tethered to an oil-water interface in response to laser illumination. This light-induced transition is due to a co…
Microrheology of DNA Hydrogels
Zhongyang Xing, Alessio Caciagli, Tianyang Cao +7
A key objective in DNA-based material science is understanding and precisely controlling the mechanical properties of DNA hydrogels. We perform microrheology measurements using dif…
DNA-coated Functional Oil Droplets
Alessio Caciagli, Mykolas Zupkauskas, Aviad Levin +6
Many industrial soft materials often include oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions at the core of their formulations. By using tuneable interface stabilizing agents, such emulsions can self…
Optical trapping of colloids at a liquid-liquid interface
Alessio Caciagli, Darshana Joshi, Jurij Kotar +1
We demonstrate the realization of (laterally) optically bounded colloidal structures on a liquid-liquid interface of an emulsion droplet. We use DNA tethers to graft the particles…
Kinetic control of the coverage of oil droplets by DNA-functionalised colloids
Darshana Joshi, Dylan Bargteil, Alessio Caciagli +7
We report a study of reversible adsorption of DNA-coated colloids on complementary functionalized oil droplets. We show that it is possible to control the surface coverage of oil d…
