Chemical Design of Self-Propelled Janus Droplets

Abstract

L.D.Z. designed and conducted experiments related to droplet fabrication, speed and shape analysis, and chemical properties. A.C. analyzed the behavior of droplets under thermal gradients. A.M.B., A.S., D.V. conducted video analysis of droplets to extract chemical trail interactions. P.M. conducted particle tracking for flow analysis. P.T., P.K.W. designed and fabricated electrode heaters and analyzed thermal profiles.
