Capillary Assembly of Colloids: Interactions on Planar and Curved Interfaces [PDF]
, 2017 In directed assembly, small building blocks are assembled into an organized structure under the influence of guiding fields. Capillary interactions provide a versatile route for structure formation.

Rheological State Diagrams for Rough Colloids in Shear Flow. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2016 To assess the role of particle roughness in the rheological phenomena of concentrated colloidal suspensions, we develop model colloids with varying surface roughness length scales up to 10% of the particle radius.

Mobile linkers on DNA-coated colloids: valency without patches [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 128303 (2014), 2014 Colloids coated with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) can bind selectively to other colloids coated with complementary ssDNA. The fact that DNA-coated colloids (DNACCs) can bind to specific partners opens the prospect of making colloidal `molecules'. However, in order to design DNACC-based molecules, we must be able to control the valency of the colloids, i.

Bistable colloidal orientation in polar liquid near a charged wall [PDF]
J. Coll. Interf. Sci. vol 559, 45-50 (2009), 2019 We examine the translation and rotation of an uncharged spheroidal colloid in polar solvents (water) near a charged flat surface. We solve the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation outside of the colloid in two dimensions for all tilt angles $\theta$ with respect to the surface normal. The colloid's size is assumed to be comparable to the Debye's length

Metamachines of pluripotent colloids [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 AbstractMachines enabled the Industrial Revolution and are central to modern technological progress: A machine’s parts transmit forces, motion, and energy to one another in a predetermined manner. Today’s engineering frontier, building artificial micromachines that emulate the biological machinery of living organisms, requires faithful assembly and ...

Interaction between charged anisotropic macromolecules: Application to rod-like polyelectrolytes [PDF]
, 2003 In this paper we propose a framework allowing to compute the effective interactions between two anisotropic macromolecules, thereby generalizing the DLVO theory to non spherical finite size colloids.
