Phase separation and rotor self-assembly in active particle suspensions.
Adding a nonadsorbing polymer to passive colloids induces an attraction between the particles via the "depletion" mechanism. High enough polymer concentrations lead to phase separation. We combine experiments, theory, and simulations to demonstrate that using active colloids (such as motile bacteria) dramatically changes the physics of such mixtures. First, significantly stronger interparticle ...
متن کاملDestabilization of Colloidal Suspensions 3.1 COLLOIDAL SUSPENSIONS
Many impurities in waters and wastewaters are present as colloidal dispersions, i.e. they occur in particulate form within the approximate size range 1 to 10 -3 μm (refer Fig 1.3). Examples of this type of suspension include clays, substances of biological origin such as natural colour, proteins, carbohydrates and their natural or industrial derivatives. Invariably suspensions of this type poss...
متن کاملPredictions of the Particle Size Distribution Changes in Emulsions and Suspensions by Digital Computation
The fundamental Smoluchowski flocculation rate equations including the effects of polydispersity and particle-particle potentiM energy barrier have been solved for any initial particle size distribution. The procedure for the numerical solution of the set of nonlinear differential equations involved the combined use of the Runge-Kutta and the Hamming methods by the IBM 360 computer. It was assu...
متن کاملPhase-Destabilization Mechanism of Polymer-Modified Bitumens in Quiescent Annealing
Bitumen as a binder in coating and insulating materials is modified with polymers to improve its performance in service conditions. Almost all polymers are incompatible with bitumen, and at high temperatures due to relatively very low viscosity of the bitumen phase, are separated from it. These lead to a considerable limitation in the use and handling of polymer-modified bitumens. An understand...
متن کاملCharge renormalization and phase separation in colloidal suspensions
– We explore the effects of counterion condensation on fluid-fluid phase separation in charged colloidal suspensions. It is found that formation of double layers around the colloidal particles stabilizes suspensions against phase separation. Addition of salt, however, produces an instability which, in principle, can lead to a fluid-fluid separation. The instability, however, is so weak that it ...
