Abstract:Marangoni and elastocapillary effects are well-known as driving forces in the self-organization of floating objects at air-water interfaces. The release of surface active compounds generates Marangoni flows that cause repulsion, whereas capillary forces drive attraction. Typically, these interactions are non-directional and mechanisms to establish directional connections between the self-organizing elements are lacking. In this work, we unravel the mechanisms involved in the self-organization of a linear amphi… Show more
