Magnetically controlled anisotropic light emission of DNA-functionalized supraparticles
Erdem, Talha; Zupkauskas, Mykolas; O’Neill, Thomas; Cassiagli, Alessio; Xu, Peicheng; Altintas, Yemliha; Mutlugun, Evren; Eiser, Erika (SPRINGER, 2022)In this article, we show the DNA-functionalization of supraparticles, form their network, and manipulate the optical features of these networks by applying a magnetic field. We start with preparing the supraparticles (SPs) ... -
Osmotic-Pressure-Induced Nematic Ordering in Suspensions of Laponite and Carboxy Methyl Cellulose
Xu, Peicheng; Yazici, Ahmet F.; Erdem, Talha; Lekkerkerker, Henk N. W.; Mutlugun, Evren; Eiser, Erika (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA, 2020)Laponite is a synthetic clay that is known to form gels in aqueous suspensions at low concentrations (0.01 g/cm(3)) Although it is expected to form lyotropic liquid crystals, such phases usually do not form, as a consequence ... -
A simple approach to prepare self-assembled, nacre-inspired clay/polymer nanocomposites
Xu, Peicheng; Eiser, Erika; Erdem, Talha (ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND, 2020)Inspired by the relationship between the well-ordered architecture of aragonite crystals and biopolymers found in natural nacre, we present a facile strategy to construct large-scale organic/inorganic nacre-mimetics with ... -
Transparent Colloidal Crystals With Structural Colours
Erdem, Talha; O'Neill, Thomas; Zupkauskas, Mykolas; Caciagli, Alessio; Xu, Peicheng; Lan, Yang; Bosecke, Peter; Eiser, Erika (FRONTIERS MEDIA SAAVENUE DU TRIBUNAL FEDERAL 34, LAUSANNE CH-1015, SWITZERLAND, 2022)Spatially ordered arrangements of spherical colloids are known to exhibit structural colours. The intensity and brilliance of these structural colours typically improve with colloidal monodispersity, low concentrations of ... -
Transparent Films Made of Highly Scattering Particles
Erdem, Talha; Yang, Lan; Xu, Peicheng; Altintas, Yemliha; O'Neil, Thomas; Caciagli, Alessio; Ducati, Caterina; Mutlugun, Evren; Scherman, Oren A.; Eiser, Erika (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA, 2020)Today, colloids are widely employed in various products from creams and coatings to electronics. The ability to control their chemical, optical, or electronic features by controlling their size and shape explains why these ...
