Forces between single pairs of charged colloids in aqueous salt solutions.
Forces between single pairs of negatively charged micrometer-sized colloids in aqueous solutions of monovalent, divalent, or trivalent counter-ions at varying concentrations have been measured by employing optical tweezers. The experimental data have been analyzed by using the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory and a numerical solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation. With mo...
متن کاملMicro-rheology on (polymer-grafted) colloids using optical tweezers.
Optical tweezers are experimental tools with extraordinary resolution in positioning (± 1 nm) a micron-sized colloid and in the measurement of forces (± 50 fN) acting on it-without any mechanical contact. This enables one to carry out a multitude of novel experiments in nano- and microfluidics, of which the following will be presented in this review: (i) forces within single pairs of colloids i...
متن کاملForces between aqueous nonuniformly charged colloids from molecular simulation
NVT Monte Carlo simulation results are presented for the forces between charged colloids within the primitive model for electrolytes. The calculations show that when charged colloids have a net dipole moment, a strong attraction can arise at short separations. The attractive force is not purely electrostatic; significant contributions follow from hard-sphere collisions between the electrolyte i...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte-compression forces between spherical DNA brushes.
Optical tweezers are employed to measure the forces of interaction within a single pair of DNA-grafted colloids, dependent on the molecular weight of the DNA chains, and the concentration and valence of the surrounding ionic medium. The resulting forces are short range and set in as the surface-to-surface distance between the colloidal cores reaches the value of the brush height. The measured f...
متن کاملElectrophoresis and electroosmosis as determined on the level of a single isolated colloid by use of optical tweezers
Experiments are described on the electrophoretic mobility of a single isolated colloid and the electroosmotic response of the surrounding medium. For that optical tweezers are employed which enable one to trap a particle without any mechanical contact and to measure its position and the forces acting on it with high resolution (±2 nm, ±200 fN). In a custom-made microfluidic cell, the two effect...
