Size-discriminative self-assembly of nanospheres in evaporating drops

Article Abstract:

Investigation of the on ring and nanoscale structuring by slow evaporation of aqueous droplets containing polystyrene nanoparticles of two different sizes is discussed. The final clarification of the effect of the individual forces experienced by nanospheres in evaporating suspensions could be expected from experiments carried out in microgravity.

Principles and implementations of dissipative (dynamic) self-assembly

Article Abstract:

The latest advances in theory and the practice of nonequilibrium dynamic self-assembly (DySA) are discussed. Heuristic design rules can be used to construct DySA systems of increasing complexities on different interactions on length scales from nanoscopic to macroscopic.

Kinetics of contact electrification between metals and polymers

Article Abstract:

Kinetics of charge transfer between metals and polymers was studied using an analytical rolling-sphere tool. It was show that the magnitudes of separated charges can be varied by adjusting the polymer's surface properties or ambient conditions.
