Bijels stabilized using rod-like particles.
Bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels, in short 'bijels', rely on a trapped layer of colloidal particles for their stability. These structures have traditionally been created using spherical colloidal particles. Here we show for the first time the use of rod-shape particles to stabilize bijels. We show that domain size decreases more rapidly with particle concentration in the case of ...
متن کاملImpacts on thin elastic sheets
We study transverse impacts of rigid objects on a free elastic membrane, using thin circular sheets of natural rubber as experimental models. After impact, two distinct axisymmetric waves propagate in and on the sheet. First a tensile wave travels at sound speed leaving behind the wave front a stretched domain. Then, a transverse wave propagates on the stretched area at a lower speed. In the st...
متن کاملCurvature-driven capillary migration and assembly of rod-like particles.
Capillarity can be used to direct anisotropic colloidal particles to precise locations and to orient them by using interface curvature as an applied field. We show this in experiments in which the shape of the interface is molded by pinning to vertical pillars of different cross-sections. These interfaces present well-defined curvature fields that orient and steer particles along complex trajec...
متن کاملElectrons in Atomically Thin Carbon Sheets Behave like Massless Particles
G a single, one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, is the twodimensional building block for carbon materials of every other dimensionality. It can be stacked into 3D graphite, rolled into 1D nanotubes, or wrapped into 0D buckyballs. But for decades scientists presumed that a single 2D graphene sheet could not exist in its free state; they reasoned that its planar ...
متن کاملA Kinetic Model for the Sedimentation of Rod-Like Particles
Abstract. We consider a kinetic multi-scale model, describing suspensions of rod-like particles, which couples a microscopic Smoluchowski equation for the distribution of rod orientations to a macroscopic Stokes or Navier-Stokes equation via an elastic stress tensor and a gravitational forcing term. A reciprocal coupling of phenomena on these different scales leads to the formation of clusters....
