Using DNA to program the self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles and microparticles

WB Rogers, WM Shih, VN Manoharan - Nature Reviews Materials, 2016 - nature.com
DNA is not just the stuff of our genetic code; it is also a means to design self-assembling
materials. Grafting DNA onto nano-and microparticles can, in principle,'program'them with …

DNA-mediated regioselective encoding of colloids for programmable self-assembly

L Ding, X Chen, W Ma, J Li, X Liu, C Fan… - Chemical Society …, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
How far we can push chemical self-assembly is one of the most important scientific
questions of the century. Colloidal self-assembly is a bottom-up technique for the rational …

Engineering compartmentalized biomimetic micro-and nanocontainers

T Trantidou, M Friddin, Y Elani, NJ Brooks, RV Law… - Acs Nano, 2017 - ACS Publications
Compartmentalization of biological content and function is a key architectural feature in

Globulelike conformation and enhanced diffusion of active polymers

V Bianco, E Locatelli, P Malgaretti - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We study the dynamics and conformation of polymers composed by active monomers. By
means of Brownian dynamics simulations we show that, when the direction of the self …

Tailoring of high‐order multiple emulsions by the liquid–liquid phase separation of ternary mixtures

MF Haase, J Brujic - Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Multiple emulsions with an “onion” topology are useful vehicles for drug delivery,
biochemical assays, and templating materials. They can be assembled by ternary liquid …

Freely jointed polymers made of droplets

A McMullen, M Holmes-Cerfon, F Sciortino… - Physical review …, 2018 - APS
An important goal of self-assembly is to achieve a preprogrammed structure with high
fidelity. Here, we control the valence of DNA-functionalized emulsions to make linear and …

A coarse-grained simulation model for colloidal self-assembly via explicit mobile binders

G Mitra, C Chang, A McMullen, D Puchall, J Brujic… - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
Colloidal particles with mobile binding molecules constitute a powerful platform for probing
the physics of self-assembly. Binding molecules are free to diffuse and rearrange on the …
