In the past decade, micro‐and nanomachines (MNMs) have made outstanding
achievements in the fields of targeted drug delivery, tumor therapy, microsurgery, biological …

Colloid science has classically concerned itself with the investigation of the properties of
dispersed phases in a bulk medium. This has led to the development of a rich amount of …

Autonomous movement promotes practical applications of micromotors. Understanding the
moving speeds is a crucial step in micromotor studies. The current analysis method relies on …

It has been shown both theoretically and experimentally that amphiphilic Janus particles are
the most effective solid surfactants to stabilize interfaces. In most cases, the Janus particles …

Active Janus colloids are functional particles that combine two distinct chemical or physical
surface properties. The anisotropic nature of this class of patchy particles allows them to …

Polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (gC 3 N 4) is an emerging metal-free and visible-light-
active photocatalyst with much interest in various fields such as environmental and …

This study compares the mobility behaviour, in a H2O2 environment, of three different
geometries of hybrid particle made of silica core functionalized by gold (nanoparticles or …

Active colloidal systems with nonequilibrium self-organization constitute a long-standing,
challenging area in material sciences and biology. To understand how hydrodynamic flow …

Artificial enzymes are synthetic materials or molecules that exhibit enzyme-like activities.
Herein, we report artificial enzymes based on metalloporphyrins (MPs) that can mimic nitric …

This dissertation encompasses diverse studies of colloidal systems. Colloid and interfacial
science is a vast interdisciplinary field which holds significance across a multitude of …
