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 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 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....
متن کاملCollective motion of rod-shaped self-propelled particles through collision
Self-propelled rods, which propel by themselves in the direction from the tail to the head and align nematically through collision, have been well-investigated theoretically. Various phenomena including true long-range ordered phase with the Giant number fluctuations, and the collective motion composed of many vorices were predicted using the minimal mathematical models of self-propelled rods. ...
متن کاملModelling Rod-Like Flexible Biological Tissues for Medical Training
This paper outlines a framework of modelling slender rod-like structure of biological tissues in both global and local scales. Volumetric discretization of a rod-like structure is expensive in computation and therefore is not ideal for applications where real-time performance is essential. In our approach, the Cosserat rod model is introduced to capture the global shape changes, which models th...
