• Active matter - Collective Motion due to Quincke Rotation 

      Kristiansen, Tommy Fjelde (Master thesis, 2015)
      his thesis investigates Quincke induced collective motion. It is mostly a qualitative study, but it attempts to connect Quincke induced collective motion to the field of active matter as a whole. The thesis has two objectives. ...
    • Active structuring of colloidal armour on liquid drops 

      Dommersnes, Paul; Rozynek, Zbigniew; Mikkelsen, Alexander; Castberg, Rene; Kjerstad, Knut; Hersvik, Kjetil; Fossum, Jon Otto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Adsorption and assembly of colloidal particles at the surface of liquid droplets are at the base of particle-stabilized emulsions and templating. Here we report that electrohydrodynamic and electro-rheological effects ...
    • Clay alignment in electric fields 

      Castberg, Rene; Rozynek, Zbigniew; Fossum, Jon Otto; Måløy, Knut Jørgen; Dommersnes, Paul; Flekkøy, Eirik Grude (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The response of rotational alignment of lithium fluorohectorite (Li-Fh) to an external electric field has been studied by employing image analysis. Large aggregates consisting of many single clay particles were prepared ...
    • Electroformation of Janus and patchy capsules 

      Rozynek, Zbigniew Jerzy; Mikkelsen, Alexander; Dommersnes, Paul; Fossum, Jon Otto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Janus and patchy particles have designed heterogeneous surfaces that consist of two or several patches with different materials properties. These particles are emerging as building blocks for a new class of soft matter and ...
