Phase separation of 2D meso-scale Coulombic crystals from meso-scale polarizable "solvent"
This paper describes the phase separation of millimetre-scale spheres based on electrostatic charge. Initially, polymeric (Teflon, T; Nylon-6,6, N) and metallic (gold-coated Nylon-6,6, Au(N)) spheres are uniformly mixed in a two-dimensional (2D) monolayer on a gold-coated plate. Oscillating the plate vertically caused the spheres to charge by contact electrification (tribocharging). Positively ...

Bacterial swarming is an example of dynamic self-assembly in microbiology in which the collective interaction of a population of bacterial cells leads to emergent behavior. Swarming occurs when cells interact with surfaces, reprogram their physiology and behavior, and adapt to changes in their environment by coordinating their growth and motility with other cells in the colony. This Review summ...
متن کاملESI ) for Soft Matter Phase Separation of 2 D Meso - scale Coulombic
Experimental Details: Materials Teflon (T) spheres (d T = 3.175 mm), Nylon-6,6 (N) spheres (d N = 3.175 mm), and sheets of aluminum (0.8 and 1.0 mm) were purchased from McMaster-Carr (Princeton, NJ). Circular frames were made by bending thin strips of aluminum (1.0 mm wide, 4–6 mm high, and 171–2 mm long) into circles of diameter 53.6 ± 0.2 mm. We glued the frames to square (75 mm) aluminum pla...
متن کاملPhase separation of two-dimensional Coulombic crystals of mesoscale dipolar particles from mesoscale polarizable “solvent”
This letter describes the formation of two-dimensional 2D crystals of dipolar particles TN made of electrostatically charged, joined, millimeter-scale Teflon T and nylon-6,6 N spheres, and the separation of these crystals, as a distinct phase, from a mixture of TN and similar, capacitively charged particles that were coated with gold Au2 . The extent of separation increased with increasing ampl...
متن کاملMeso scale flextensional piezoelectric actuators
We present an ultra-thin meso scale piezoelectric actuator consisting of a piezoceramic beam and a carbon fiber displacement-amplification frame. We show that the actuator can be designed to achieve a wide range of force/displacement characteristics on the mN/μm scales. The best performing design achieved a free displacement of 106 μm and a blocked force of 73 mN, yielding a total energy densit...
