Self-assembly and hydrodynamics of Janus particles
- đ¤ Speaker: Prof. Erik Luijten (Northwestern University, USA)
- đ Date & Time: Friday 22 April 2011, 12:00 - 13:00
- đ Venue: Room 357, Department of Chemistry
Abstract
Janus particles are spherical colloids with hemispheres of different surface chemistry. In this talk, I will describe their self-assembly as investigated through a combination of experiments, analytical calculations, and simulations. Furthermore, I will discuss how anisotropic coupling of Janus particles to the surrounding solvent can affect sedimentation and aggregation behaviour.
