Surfactant concentration modulates the motion and placement of microparticles in an inhomogeneous electric field [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This study examined the effects of surfactants on the motion and positioning of microparticles in an inhomogeneous electric field. The microparticles were suspended in oil with a surfactant and the electric field was generated using sawtooth-patterned electrodes. The microparticles were trapped, oscillated, or attached to the electrodes. The proportion

Supramolecular modification of ABC triblock terpolymers in confinement assembly [PDF]
, 2018 The self-assembly of AB diblock copolymers in three-dimensional (3D) soft confinement of nanoemulsions has recently become an attractive bottom up route to prepare colloids with controlled inner morphologies. In that regard, ABC triblock terpolymers show

Interparticle attraction in 2D complex plasmas [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 125001 (2016), 2015 Complex (dusty) plasmas allow experimental studies of various physical processes occurring in classical liquids and solids by directly observing individual microparticles. A major problem is that the interaction between microparticles is generally not molecular-like.

Threading the spindle: a geometric study of chiral liquid crystal polymer microparticles [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 157801 (2019), 2019 Polymeric particles are strong candidates for designing artificial materials capable of emulating the complex twisting-based functionality observed in biological systems. In this letter, we provide the first detailed investigation of the swelling behavior of bipolar polymer liquid crystalline microparticles.
