This paper presents an experimental study of the adsorption of colloids on model membranes mediated by specific ligand-receptor interactions. The colloids consist of lipid multilamellar liposomes (spherulites) functionalized with the B-subunit of Shiga Toxin (STxB), while the membranes are lipid Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUV) containing STxB lipid receptor, Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Through confocal microscopy and flow cytometry, we show the specificity of the adsorption. Moreover, we show that flow cytometry can be used to efficiently quantify the kinetics of colloid adsorption on GUVs with very good statistics. By varying the bulk colloid concentration and receptor density in the membrane, we point out the existence of an optimum Gb3 density for adsorption. We propose that this optimum corresponds to a transition between reversible colloid adsorption at low Gb3 density and irreversible adsorption, and likely spherulite fusion, at high density. We compare our results both to STxB-colloids adhering on living cells and to free STxB proteins interacting with GUVs containing Gb3. This biomimetic system could be used for a quantitative evaluation of the early stage of virus infection or drug delivery. 相似文献

In this article, we apply classical density functional theory to investigate the characteristics of depletion interaction in Lennard-Jones (LJ) binary fluid mixtures. First, to confirm the validity of our adopted density functional formalism, we calculate the radial distribution functions using a theoretical approach and compare them with results obtained by molecular dynamics simulation. Then, this approach is applied to two colloids immersed in LJ solvent systems. We investigate the variation of depletion interaction with respect to the distance of two colloids in LJ binary systems. We find that depletion interaction may be attractive or repulsive, mostly depending on the bulk density of the solvent and the temperature of the binary system. For high bulk densities, the repulsive barrier of depletion force is remarkable when the total excluded volume of colloids touches each other and reaches a maximum. The height of the repulsive barrier is related to the parameters of the LJ potential and bulk density. Moreover, the depletion force may exhibit attractive wells if the bulk density of the solvent is low. The attractive well tends to appear when the surface–surface distance of colloids is half of the size of the polymer and deepens with temperature lowering in a fixed bulk density. In contrast with the hard-sphere system, no oscillation of depletion potential around zero is observed. 相似文献

The dynamical deformation of ultrasoft colloids as well as their dynamic frictional forces are numerically investigated, when one colloid is dragged past another at constant velocity. Hydrodynamic interactions are captured by a particle-based mesoscopic simulation method. At vanishing relative velocity, the equilibrium repulsive force-distance curve is obtained. At large drag velocities, in contrast, we find an apparent attractive force for departing colloids along the dragging direction. The deformation, in the close encounter of colloids, and the energy dissipation are examined as a function of the drag velocity and their separation. 相似文献

We study the structure of a free-standing smectic-A film around a micron-size polystyrene colloid adsorbed onto the film.
We find that a colloid or a cluster of colloids is surrounded by an optically distinct and radially decorated meniscus ending
with a sharp edge. The observed strong and finite-range attraction between the adsorbed colloids is driven by the fusion of
menisci. We interpret the structure of the smectic meniscus in terms of a model dominated by the surface free energy and we
argue that the characteristic appearance of the meniscus is due to layer undulations. 相似文献

Extensive atomic force and electron microscopy reveal a new, generic DNA-colloid complex with a fixed number of DNA bases per colloid. The fiber shaped complex is stable in the presence of excess colloids in the solution. As more DNA is added to the solution and the ratio between colloids and DNA approaches the fiber's stoichiometry, the system undergoes a sharp coagulation transition. The system is restabilized at even higher DNA concentrations through localization of small colloid clusters on extensive DNA networks. 相似文献

Linear and nonlinear (NL) optical properties of silver colloids stabilized with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) in water, acetone,
methanol, and ethylene glycol were studied. Images obtained by transmission electron microscopy reveal narrow size distributions
of silver nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters centered at ≈ 6.3 nm (aqueous colloid) and in the 4.3–4.9 nm range for the other
colloids. The behavior of the surface plasmon resonance band associated with the NPs was monitored through the linear absorption
spectrum, and its dependence on the linear refraction index and the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the solvent molecules
was analyzed. The phenomenological parameter, A, obtained from the linear absorption spectra, includes contributions due to
the surface effects and the solvent. The third order susceptibility of the colloid was measured using the Z-scan technique
at 532 nm, and the NL optical susceptibility of the NPs was determined using the Maxwell–Garnett model. The results indicate
that the NL response of the colloids is largely influenced by the molecules adsorbed on the NPs surfaces and the EDM of the
solvent molecules.

Silver colloids in aqueous solution were studied by different scanning microscopy techniques and UV/VIS spectroscopy. The
silver colloids were produced either by chemical reduction or by nanosecond laser ablation from a solid silver foil in water.
Variation of laser power and ablation time leads to solutions of metal clusters of different sizes in water. We characterized
the electronic absorption of the clusters by UV/VIS spectroscopy. STM (scanning tunneling microscope) imaging of the metal
colloids shows atomic resolution of rod- or tenon-like silver clusters up to 10-nm length formed by laser ablation. Our scanning
electron microscope measurements, however, show that much larger silver colloids up to 5-μm length are also formed, which
are not visible in the STM due to their roughness. We correlate them with the long-wavelength tail of the multimodal UV/VIS
spectrum. The silver colloids obtained by chemical reduction are generally larger and their electronic spectra are red-shifted
compared to the laser-ablated clusters. Irradiation of the colloid solution with nanosecond laser pulses of appropriate fluence
at 532 nm and 355 nm initially reduced the colloid size. Longer irradiation at 355 nm, however, leads to the formation of
larger colloids again. There seems to be a critical lower particle size, where silver clusters in aqueous solution become
unstable and start to coagulate.

Influence of surface affinity of planar walls on effective interaction between the wall and colloids
Using density functional theory, we investigate the effective interaction between a big colloid immersed in a sea of small colloids and a wall which has different affinity to the small colloids. Steele 10-4-3 potential is introduced to mimic both short-range repulsive and long-range attractive interactions between the wall and the small colloids. It is found that the surface affinity of the wall has a significant influence on the effective interaction. In the short-range repulsive case, the repulsion greatly enhances the big colloid-wall effective attraction, which sensitively depends on the concentration of small colloids, and is not sensitive to the repulsive strength. In the long-range attractive case, both the concentration of small colloids and the attractive strength have great effect on the effective interaction, and with an increase of the attractive strength, a strong repulsion may be induced when the big colloid is close to the wall. In low density limit of small colloids, the present results agree well with those of the Asakura and Oosawa(AO) approximation. 相似文献

In concentrated suspensions of charged colloids, interactions between colloids can be induced by an external electric field
through the polarization of charge distributions (within the diffusive double layer and the layer of condensed ions) and/or
electro-osmotic flow. In case of rod-like colloids, these field-induced inter-colloidal interactions have recently been shown
to lead to anomalous orientation perpendicular to the external field, and to phase/state transitions and dynamical states,
depending on the field amplitude and frequency of the external field. As a first step towards a (semi-) quantitative understanding
of these phenomena, we present a linear-response analysis of the frequency-dependent polarization of the layer of condensed
ions on a single, long and thin cylindrical colloid. The in-phase and out-phase response functions for the charge distribution
and the electric potential are calculated for arbitrary orientation of the cylindrical colloid. The frequency-dependent degree
of alignment, which is proportional to the electric-field-induced birefringence, is calculated as well, and compared to experiments
on dilute fd virus suspensions. 相似文献

ABSTRACTWe investigate the dependence of the shear viscosity of suspensions of spherical colloids as a function of the volume fraction of the suspension, the colloid–colloid interactions and the shear rate. We couple molecular dynamics to describe the motion of the colloids with stochastic rotation dynamics (MD–SRD) for the fluid environment by means of stochastic collisions, in order to incorporate hydrodynamics effects leading to non-newtonian responses. The shear viscosity is computed using non-equilibrium simulations by imposing explicit velocity gradients. The impact of the colloid–colloid interactions is examined by modelling the inter-colloid pair potential with a repulsive power law, that allows interpolating different degrees of colloidal softness. The general rheological behaviour of our suspensions can be described with a Krieger–Dougherty like equation, which must be corrected to account for the variations in the maximum packing fraction and non-equilibrium effects arising from the flux of momentum imposed to the suspension, which appear when varying the softness of the inter-colloidal interactions. We further show evidence for non-newtonian behaviour at high Péclet numbers, characterised both by shear thinning and shear thickening, and thus demonstrate these effects can be successfully captured using MD–SRD methods. 相似文献

This study theoretically examined colloid detachment from primary minima with ionic strength (IS) reduction on heterogeneous collector surfaces. The chemically and physically heterogeneous collector surfaces were modeled as a planar surface carrying nanoscale patches of different zeta potentials and nanoscale pillars/hemispheroids, respectively. The surface element integration technique was used to calculate interaction energies between colloid and collector surfaces. Two boundary conditions for the double-layer interaction energy were considered, namely constant surface potential (CSP), and linear superposition approximation (LSA). In contrast to prevailing opinions in the literature, our results show that colloids attached on the chemically heterogeneous surface cannot be detached by IS reduction under CSP condition due to an increase of the adhesive force/torque with decreasing IS. Detachment from chemically heterogeneous surfaces by IS reduction can occur under LSA condition only when the flow velocity is very high. In contrast, the presence of nanoscale physical heterogeneity can cause colloid detachment from primary minima by IS reduction under both CSP and LSA conditions at flow velocities commonly used in experimental studies because of a significant reduction in the adhesive forces/torques. 相似文献

We study the phase ordering colloids suspended in a thermotropic nematic liquid crystal below the clearing point and the resulting aggregated structure. Small () PMMA particles are dispersed in a classical liquid crystal matrix, 5CB or MBBA. With the help of confocal microscopy we
show that small colloid particles densely aggregate on thin interfaces surrounding large volumes of clean nematic liquid,
thus forming an open cellular structure, with the characteristic size of inversely proportional to the colloid concentration. A simple theoretical model, based on the Landau mean-field treatment,
is developed to describe the continuous phase separation and the mechanism of cellular structure formation.

We present a theory for the phase behaviour of mixtures of charge-stabilised colloidal spheres plus interacting polymer chains
in good and θ -solvents within the framework of free-volume theory. We use simple but accurate combination rules for the depletion
thickness around a colloidal particle and for the osmotic pressure up to the semi-dilute concentration regime. Hence, we obtain
expressions for the free energy for mixtures of charged colloidal particles and non-adsorbing interacting polymers. From that,
we calculate the phase behaviour, and discuss its topology in dependence on the competition between the charge-induced repulsion
and the polymer-induced attraction. The homogeneous mixture of colloids and polymers becomes more stabilised against demixing
when increasing the electrostatic repulsion. This charge-induced stabilisation is strongest for small polymer-to-colloid size
ratios and is more pronounced for charged colloids mixed with polymers in a good solvent than for polymers in a θ -solvent.
For the weakly charged regime we find that the phase diagram becomes salt-concentration-independent in the protein limit for
charged colloids plus polymers in a θ -solvent. The liquid window, i.e., the concentration regimes where a colloidal liquid exists, is narrowed down upon increasing the charge-induced repulsion.
Also this effect is more pronounced when charged colloids are mixed with polymer chains in a good solvent. In summary, we
demonstrate that the solvent quality significantly influences the phase behaviour of mixtures of charged colloids plus non-adsorbing
polymers if the range of the screened electrostatic repulsion becomes of the order of the range of the depletion-induced attraction. 相似文献

Dielectrophoresis (DEP), the motion of polarizable particles in non-uniform electric fields, has become an important tool
for the transport, separation, and characterization of microparticles in biomedical and nanoelectronics research. In this
article we present, to our knowledge, the first molecular dynamics simulations of DEP of nanometer-sized colloidal particles.
We introduce a simplified model for a polarizable nanoparticle, consisting of a large charged macroion and oppositely charged
microions, in an explicit solvent. The model is then used to study DEP motion of the particle at different combinations of
temperature and electric field strength. In accord with linear response theory, the particle drift velocities are shown to
be proportional to the DEP force. Analysis of the colloid DEP mobility shows a clear time dependence, demonstrating the variation
of friction under non-equilibrium. The time dependence of the mobility further results in an apparent weak variation of the
DEP displacements with temperature. 相似文献

We visualize the drying of droplets of colloids suspended in a mixture of two miscible solvents, namely water and ethanol. After a period of isotropic shrinkage, droplets suddenly buckle like elastic shells. For a fixed colloid solid fraction, the buckling threshold evolves as a function of ethanol content, due to changes of the solvent mixture physical properties, such as viscosity and evaporation rate. A simplified model predicting the qualitative behavior of the buckling threshold as a function of the initial ethanol mass fraction has been developed that fits well experimental results. 相似文献

The vibrational spectrum and specific heat of three bcc transition metals -iron, chromium and tungsten are computed on the basis of modified Clark-Gazis-Wallis angular force model which considers volume forces of Krebs' nature. The calculations are made using the Blackman's root sampling technique for a discrete subdivision in wave-vector space. The calculated lattice specific heats and the effective Debye temperatures are compared with the available experimental data. The results show a reasonably satisfactory agreement with the experimental observations.The authors are highly thankful to Dr.Jyoti Prakash, Dr. S.Chandra for helpful discussions. One of them (H. L.
