Self‐Propelled Supracolloidal Fibers from Multifunctional Polymer Surfactants and Droplets

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Front Cover: In article number 2000334, Todd Emrick and co-workers demonstrate that supracolloidal fibers exhibit numerous types of self-driven motion at the air-water surface, including migration, rotation and oscillation. The individual microscale droplets, stabilized by zwitterionic polymer surfactants, exhibit inter-droplet interactions that are sufficiently robust so as to enable the observed macroscale fiber motion.
