粘弹性流体中自推进Janus粒子的动力学

Dynamics of self-propelled Janus particles in viscoelastic fluids

Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Alex Blokhuis, Clemens Bechinger

摘要:

实验研究了球形Janus胶体粒子在粘弹性流体中的主动运动。自推进是通过激光照射施加的临界聚合物混合物的局部浓度梯度来实现的。即使在该制度中,流体的粘度是独立的颗粒引起的变形率,我们发现一个显着的增加高达两个数量级的旋转扩散随着颗粒速度的增加,这可以描述由一个有效的旋转扩散系数依赖于Weissenberg数的现象。我们表明,这种效应引起的粘弹性介质中的微泳者的外力取决于其方向的高度各向异性的响应。

英文摘要:

We experimentally investigate active motion of spherical Janus colloidal particles in a viscoelastic fluid. Self-propulsion is achieved by a local concentration gradient of a critical polymer mixture which is imposed by laser illumination. Even in the regime where the fluid's viscosity is independent from the deformation rate induced by the particle, we find a remarkable increase of up to two orders of magnitude of the rotational diffusion with increasing particle velocity, which can be phenomenologically described by an effective rotational diffusion coefficient dependent on the Weissenberg number. We show that this effect gives rise to a highly anisotropic response of microswimmers in viscoelastic media to external forces depending on its orientation.
