Self-propulsion of chemically active droplets

S Michelin - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Microscopic active droplets are able to swim autonomously in viscous flows. This puzzling
feature stems from solute exchanges with the surrounding fluid via surface reactions or their …

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 …

Motion of a self-propelled particle with rotational inertia

EA Lisin, OS Vaulina, II Lisina, OF Petrov - … Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2022 - pubs.rsc.org
Overdamped active Brownian motion of self-propelled particles in a liquid has been fairly
well studied. However, there are a variety of situations in which the overdamped …

A Hydrolyzable Supra‐amphiphile as a Marangoni Self‐Propulsion Fuel for Efficient Macroscopic Supramolecular Self‐Assembly

G Lu, G Zhu, Q Zhang, P Tian… - Angewandte Chemie …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Self‐assembly of μm‐to‐mm components is important for achieving all‐scale ordering with
requirements of extra energy for motion and interaction of components. Marangoni flows …

Surfing and crawling macroscopic active particles under strong confinement: Inertial dynamics

M Leoni, M Paoluzzi, S Eldeen, A Estrada… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
We study two types of active (self-propelled) macroscopic particles under confinement:
camphor surfers and hexbug crawlers, using a combined experimental, theoretical, and …

Instability and self-propulsion of active droplets along a wall

N Desai, S Michelin - Physical Review Fluids, 2021 - APS
Active droplets can swim spontaneously in viscous flows as a result of the nonlinear
convective transport of a chemical solute produced at their surface by the Marangoni and/or …

Static and dynamic behavior of magnetic particles at fluid interfaces

F Martínez-Pedrero - Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2020 - Elsevier
This perspective work reviews the current status of research on magnetic particles at fluid
interfaces. The article gives both a unified overview of recent experimental advances and …

Weakly nonlinear dynamics of a chemically active particle near the threshold for spontaneous motion. I. Adjoint method

O Schnitzer - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
In this series, we study the weakly nonlinear dynamics of chemically active particles near the
threshold for spontaneous motion. In this part, we focus on steady solutions and develop an …

Self‐Solidifying Active Droplets Showing Memory‐Induced Chirality

K Feng, JC Ureña Marcos… - Advanced …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Most synthetic microswimmers do not reach the autonomy of their biological counterparts in
terms of energy supply and diversity of motions. Here, this work reports the first all‐aqueous …
