Hydrogel-Encased Photonic Microspheres with Enhanced Color Saturation and High Suspension Stability

Regular arrays of colloidal particles can produce striking structural colors without the need for any chemical pigments. Regular arrays of colloidal particles can be processed into microparticles via emulsion templates for use as structural colorants. Phot ...

Simulating Microswimmers Under Confinement With Dissipative Particle (Hydro) Dynamics

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In this work we study microwimmers, whether colloids or polymers, embedded in bulk or in confinement. We explicitly consider hydrodynamic interactions and simulate the swimmers via an implementation inspired by the squirmer model. Concerning the surroundin ...

Charge transfer across C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds stabilizes oil droplets in water

Sylvie Roke, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan, Sergey Kulik, Benjamin Rehl

The hydrophobic-water interface plays a key role in biological interactions. However, both the hydrophobic-water interfacial molecular structure and the origin of the negative zeta potential of hydrophobic droplets in water are heavily contested. We report ...

Colloid transport and distribution in the hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry

Colloids moving from the stream into the hyporheic zone may have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems as they are potential contaminants or carriers of contaminants. Moreover, retained colloids in the hyporheic zone could not only reduce the exchange fl ...

The role of double diffusion for the heat and salt balance in Lake Kivu

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

Double diffusion in lakes and oceans can transform vertical gradients into staircases of convectively mixed layers separated by thin stable interfaces. Lake Kivu is an outstanding double-diffusive natural laboratory with > 300 such steps over the permanent ...

Optical label-free and model-free probe of the surface potential of nanoscale and microscopic objects in aqueous solution

Sylvie Roke, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

The electrostatic environment of aqueous systems is an essential ingredient for the function of any living system. To understand the electrostatic properties and their molecular foundation in soft, living, and three-dimensional systems, we developed a tabl ...

Amino-polyvinyl Alcohol Coated Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles are Suitable for Monitoring of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells In Vivo

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are promising candidates in regenerative cell-therapies. However, optimizing their number and route of delivery remains a critical issue, which can be addressed by monitoring the MSCs' bio-distribution in vivo using super-p ...

Double-diffusive interfaces in Lake Kivu reproduced by direct numerical simulations

Alfred Johny Wüest

Double diffusion transforms uniform background gradients of temperature and salinity into "staircases" of homogeneous mixed layers that are separated by high-gradient interfaces. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) and microstructure measurements are two in ...

Differential capacitance of liquid/liquid interfaces of finite thicknesses: a finite element study

Hubert Girault, Dmitry Momotenko, Carlos Manuel De Melo Pereira

Finite element simulations were used to investigate the effect of a smooth variation of permittivity across a polarized liquid/liquid interface on the differential capacitance. The results show that a relative permittivity profile can account for the varia ...

Repulsion forces of superplasticizers on ground granulated blast furnace slag in alkaline media, from AFM measurements to rheological properties

Paul Bowen, Michael Stuer, Ulrich Aschauer

The electrostatic and steric repulsion induced by different superplasticizers on ground granulated blast furnace slag in alkaline media have been studied. The superplasticizers were sulfonated naphthalene, sulfonated melamine, vinyl copolymer, and polycarb ...
