多元液体混合物分离相形态设计

Designing morphology of separated phases in multicomponent liquid mixtures

Sheng Mao, Milena S. Chakraverti-Wuerthwein, Hunter Gaudio, Andrej Kosmrlj

摘要:

多组分液体混合物的相分离在从工业到细胞生物学的许多过程中起着不可或缺的作用。在许多情况下,共存相的形态与分离混合物的功能密切相关,但尚不清楚当存在多个相时,是什么决定了形态。我们开发了一种图论方法来预测从一组给定的表面能(正问题)的共存相的拓扑结构,列举所有拓扑结构不同的形态,并逆向工程条件的表面能,产生目标形态(逆问题)。

英文摘要:

Phase separation of multicomponent liquid mixtures plays an integral part in many processes ranging from industry to cellular biology. In many cases the morphology of coexisting phases is crucially linked to the function of the separated mixture, yet it is unclear what determines morphology when multiple phases are present. We developed a graph theory approach to predict the topology of coexisting phases from a given set of surface energies (forward problem), enumerate all topologically distinct morphologies, and reverse engineer conditions for surface energies that produce the target morphology (inverse problem).
