Spontaneous motion and deformation of a self-propelled droplet.
The time evolution equation of motion and shape are derived for a self-propelled droplet driven by a chemical reaction. The coupling between the chemical reaction and motion makes an inhomogeneous concentration distribution as well as a surrounding flow leading to the instability of a stationary state. The instability results in spontaneous motion by which the shape of the droplet deforms from ...
متن کاملMultistep Surface Electrode Mechanism Coupled with Preceding Chemical Reaction-Theoretical Analysis in Square-Wave Voltammetry
In this theoretical work, we present for the first time voltammetric results of a surface multistep electron transfer mechanism that is associated with a preceding chemical reaction that is linked to the first electron transfer step. The mathematical model of this so-called “surface CEE mechanism” is solved under conditions of square-wave voltammetry. We present relevant set of results portrayi...
متن کاملMode selection in the spontaneous motion of an alcohol droplet.
An alcohol (pentanol) droplet exhibits spontaneous motion on an aqueous solution, driven by a solutal Marangoni effect. We found that the droplets mode of motion is controlled by its volume. A droplet with a volume of less than 0.1 microl shows irregular translational motion, whereas intermediate-sized droplets of 0.1-200 microl show vectorial motion. When the volume is above 300 microl, the dr...
متن کاملChemical gradients on graphene to drive droplet motion.
This work demonstrates the production of a well-controlled, chemical gradient on the surface of graphene. By inducing a gradient of oxygen functional groups, drops of water and dimethyl-methylphosphonate (a nerve agent simulant) are "pulled" in the direction of increasing oxygen content, while fluorine gradients "push" the droplet motion in the direction of decreasing fluorine content. The dire...
متن کاملSpontaneous emergence of self-replication in chemical reaction systems
Self-replication is one of the central properties of life (1), and to explain life’s origins we need to explain how selfreplication arose. It is widely accepted that before DNA, life replicated through RNA molecules (2). However, it remains unclear how the building blocks of RNA, such as nucleotides, became available on the primitive Earth, and even if these building blocks were abundant, it is...
