Rectangular lattices of microgels at interfaces self-assemble at near zero surface pressure due to attractive quadrupolar capillary interactions and steric repulsion. They can be used for soft colloidal lithography.

Inspired by recent experimental observations of spontaneous chain formation of cubic particles adsorbed at a fluid–fluid interface, we theoretically investigate whether capillary interactions can be responsible for this self-assembly process.

Good Agreement

We numerically investigate the adsorption of a variety of Janus particles (dumbbells, elongated dumbbells and spherocylinders) at a fluid–fluid interface by using a numerical method that takes into account the interfacial deformations. We also experimentally synthesize micrometer–sized charged Janus dumbbells and let them adsorb at a water–decane interface. We find a good agreement between numerical and experimental results.

We present theory and simulations describing the behaviour of magnetic Janus particles adsorbed at fluid–fluid interfaces interacting with an external magnetic field. We show that the particles deform the interface in a dipolar manner and suggest how to utilise capillary interactions to create novel, reconfigurable materials.

Capillary Interactions

Capillary interactions have emerged as a tool for the directed self-assembly of particles adsorbed at fluid interfaces. Recent observations of anisotropic particle monolayers interacting via induced dipolar capillary interactions showed very interesting phenomenology. Our investigations explain many of the observed monolayer properties.
