Reversible axial segregation of binary mixtures of granular materials.
Measurements of axial segregation of binary mixtures of glass beads having different diameters in a rotating horizontal cylinder are reported. For rotation speeds of ~ 15 rpm a mixed state quickly (within a few minutes) segregates into sharp bands of alternating large and small glass beads along the axis of rotation. Decreasing the rotation speed to ~ 5 rpm causes the bands to disappear, restor...
متن کاملTunable Multiscale Nanoparticle Ordering by Polymer Crystallization
While ∼75% of commercially utilized polymers are semicrystalline, the generally low mechanical modulus of these materials, especially for those possessing a glass transition temperature below room temperature, restricts their use for structural applications. Our focus in this paper is to address this deficiency through the controlled, multiscale assembly of nanoparticles (NPs), in particular by...
متن کاملOscillatory driven colloidal binary mixtures: axial segregation versus laning.
Using Brownian dynamics computer simulations we show that binary mixtures of colloids driven in opposite directions by an oscillating external field exhibit axial segregation in sheets perpendicular to the drive direction. The segregation effect is stable only in a finite window of oscillation frequencies and driving strengths and is taken over by lane formation in the direction of the driving ...
متن کاملThe bijel: a bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gel
The bijel is a new class of soft material comprised of two fluids arrested in a bicontinuous configuration on the mesoscale. We stabilize the fluid structure using an interfacial layer of silica particles. The particles become trapped at the liquid-liquid interface because they reduce the exposed area; this relies on the particles being partially wetted by both liquids. We use water and 2,6-lut...
متن کاملApplication of a Thermo-Reversible Gelation Polymer, Mebiol Gel, for Stem Cell Culture and Regenerative Medicine
Recent studies have revealed the possible utility of a three-dimensional culture system using a thermo-reversible gelation polymer, Mebiol Gel. It is a purely synthesized biocompatible copolymer composed of thermoresponsive polymer blocks [poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-n-butyl methacrylate) poly(NIPAAm-co-BMA)] and hydrophilic polymer blocks (polyethylene glycol [PEG]). Mebiol Gel is characteri...
