Optical manipulation of plasmonic nanoparticles: Applications in surface chemistry and nano-optics

Jeonghyeon Kim

Optical tweezers are devices that can manipulate nano- and microparticles using a laser. The principle of optical tweezers is to apply a force to an object using the momentum of light. This force is very small, but it is sufficient to move things in the mi ...

Seeded emulsion polymerization is one of the best-known methods for preparing polymer particles with a controlled size, composition, and shape. It first requires the preparation of seed particles, which are then swollen with additional monomer (the same as ...

Probing Surfactant Bilayer Interactions by Tracking Optically Trapped Single Nanoparticles

Olivier Martin, Jeonghyeon Kim

Single-particle tracking and optical tweezers are powerful techniques for studying diverse processes at the microscopic scale. The stochastic behavior of a microscopic particle contains information about its interaction with surrounding molecules, and an o ...

Ion-bridges and lipids drive aggregation of same-charge nanoparticles on lipid membranes

Francesco Stellacci, Zekiye Pelin Güven, Giulia Rossi

The control of the aggregation of biomedical nanoparticles (NP) in physiological conditions is crucial as clustering may change completely the way they interact with the biological environment. Here we show that Au nanoparticles, functionalized by an anion ...

Adsorption of progesterone onto microplastics and its desorption in fish following digestion with simulated gastric and intestinal fluids

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Thibault Béranger Masset, Cécilia Laetitia Carla Siri, Yang Liu

The sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds onto microplastics is relatively well reported in the literature, while their desorption remains poorly investigated, especially in biological fluids. The present study investigated the sorption and desorption ...

Surfactants Control Optical Trapping near a Glass Wall

Olivier Martin, Jeonghyeon Kim

Beyond their original capability to grab and hold tiny objects, optical tweezers have emerged as a powerful tool to investigate fundamental physics at microscopic scales. A precise characterization of the optical trap is one of the key requirements in such ...

Capillary assisted particle assembly for high aspect ratio nanorods

New developments in nanoparticle synthesis is opening new opportunities in bottom-up assembly. Indeed, monocrystalline and functionalized nanoparticles allow fabrication of metamaterials such as plasmonics and nanogap electrodes. Among the bottom up assemb ...

Fluorinated surfactants in droplet-based microfluidics: Influence of their composition on the properties of emulsion drops

Gianluca Nicolas Etienne

Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...
