Hydrodynamically Controlled Self‐Organization in Mixtures of Active and Passive Colloids (Small 21/2022)

Abstract

Self‐Organization of Multi‐Component Systems Recent efforts in materials science have focused on biologically inspired mixtures of active and passive colloids. In article number 2107023, Juliane Simmchen, Erik Luijten, and co‐workers examine the effects of a minority of active particles on the collective behavior of a majority of passive particles. Integrated simulations and experiments elucidate the hydrodynamic driving forces behind the observed phenomena.
