Advances in the microrheology of complex fluids

TA Waigh - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
New developments in the microrheology of complex fluids are considered. Firstly the
requirements for a simple modern particle tracking microrheology experiment are …

Are contact angle measurements useful for oxide-coated liquid metals?

ID Joshipura, KA Persson, VK Truong, JH Oh, M Kong… - Langmuir, 2021 - ACS Publications
This work establishes that static contact angles for gallium-based liquid metals have no
utility despite the continued and common use of such angles in the literature. In the …

[HTML][HTML] Computational interfacial rheology

NO Jaensson, PD Anderson, J Vermant - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid …, 2021 - Elsevier
Fluid–fluid interfaces, laden with polymers, particles or other surface-active moieties, often
show a rheologically complex response to deformations, in particular when strong lateral …

Active colloids on fluid interfaces

J Deng, M Molaei, NG Chisholm, T Yao, A Read… - Current Opinion in …, 2022 - Elsevier
We review recent work on active colloids at interfaces, including self-propelled colloids that
move by generating a propulsive force, and driven colloids that move under external fields …

Phase-dependent surfactant transport on the microscale: Interfacial tension and droplet coalescence

Y Chen, S Narayan, CS Dutcher - Langmuir, 2020 - ACS Publications
Liquid–liquid emulsion systems are usually stabilized by additives, known as surfactants,
which can be observed in various environments and applications such as oily bilgewater …

Particle diffusion in active fluids is non-monotonic in size

AE Patteson, A Gopinath, PK Purohit, PE Arratia - Soft matter, 2016 - pubs.rsc.org

spheres in suspensions of Escherichia coli. Using particles covering a range of sizes from …

Films of bacteria at interfaces

L Vaccari, M Molaei, THR Niepa, D Lee… - Advances in colloid and …, 2017 - Elsevier
Bacteria are often discussed as active colloids, self-propelled organisms whose collective
motion can be studied in the context of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. In such …

[HTML][HTML] Biofilm formation at oil-water interfaces is not a simple function of bacterial hydrophobicity

G Subbiahdoss, E Reimhult - Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2020 - Elsevier
Bacterial adsorption to interfaces is the initial step in biofilm formation. The mechanism of
biofilm formation at liquid-liquid interfaces differs from the process of biofilm formation on …

Motile Bacteria at Oil–Water Interfaces: Pseudomonas aeruginosa

J Deng, M Molaei, NG Chisholm, KJ Stebe - Langmuir, 2020 - ACS Publications
Bacteria are important examples of active or self-propelled colloids. Because of their
directed motion, they accumulate near interfaces. There, they can become trapped and swim …
