Programming Tactic Behaviors of Active Colloids via Surface Charge [PDF]
ACS NanoSelf-diffusiophoretic colloids move autonomously by creating chemical gradients. These self-generated gradients lead to fluid motion at the particle surface, also known as phoretic slip, which determines the direction of colloidal motion.

Active Colloids as Models, Materials, and Machines [PDF]
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, 2023 Active colloids use energy input at the particle level to propel persistent motion and direct dynamic assemblies. We consider three types of colloids animated by chemical reactions, time-varying magnetic fields, and electric currents. For each type, we review the basic propulsion mechanisms at the particle level and discuss their consequences for ...

Collective Behavior of Thermally Active Colloids [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2012 Colloids with patchy metal coating under laser irradiation could act as local heat sources and generate temperature gradients that could induce self-propulsion and interactions between them. The collective behavior of a dilute solution of such thermally active particles is studied using a stochastic formulation.

Catalytic Self-Phoretic Active Colloids [PDF]
, 2017 Active Janus colloids are nano to micron sized colloids, capable of propelling themselves through fluidic environments. Localised, asymmetric catalytic reactions on the colloidal bodies are used to decompose a dissolved ‘fuel’ to produce motion.

Designing active colloidal folders [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022 Can active forces be exploited to drive the consistent collapse of an active polymer into a folded structure? In this paper, we introduce and perform numerical simulations of a simple model of active colloidal folders and show that a judicious inclusion of active forces into a stiff colloidal chain can generate designable and reconfigurable two ...
