Janus粒子作用下二元混合物的周期结构

Periodic structures in binary mixtures enforced by Janus particles

Alexei Krekhov, Vanessa Weith, Walter Zimmermann

摘要:

本文用耦合到描述粒子动力学的Langevin方程的Cahn-Hilliard模型研究了Janus粒子存在下二元混合物的相分离。我们表明,相分离过程中逮捕导致意想不到的规则条纹图案的浓度场。基本的图案形成机制已被阐明:在Janus粒子的表面上的双重吸收特性相对于一个二元混合物的两个组件触发在其附近的空间浓度变化。它们导致由二元混合物介导的颗粒之间的有效相互作用。我们的研究结果开辟了一条路线,设计复合材料的纳米级层状形态的图案波长可以通过改变润湿性能的Janus颗粒进行调谐。

英文摘要:

Phase separation in binary mixtures in the presence of Janus particles has been studied in terms of a Cahn-Hilliard model coupled to the Langevin equations describing the particle dynamics. We demonstrate that the phase separation process is arrested leading to unexpected regular stripe patterns in the concentration field. The underlying pattern forming mechanism has been elucidated: The twofold absorption properties on the surface of Janus particles with respect to the two components of a binary mixture trigger in their neighborhood spatial concentration variations. They result in an effective interaction between the particles mediated by the binary mixture. Our findings open a route to design composite materials with nanoscale lamellar morphologies where the pattern wavelength can be tuned by changing the wetting properties of the Janus particles.
