Fig. 5: Temperature-directed steering of shape-morphing bilayer particles.
A Summary of the corresponding bending curvature, particle shape, and motion at different temperatures. Each program was used to steer the motion of bilayer particles in the x- or y-direction. B Fluorescent microscope image showing temperature-directed steering of bilayer particles. Induced helical motions allow a change in orientation of the bilayer particle upon turning off the field. C x and y-coordinates of a bilayer particle upon temperature change. All experiments were performed in an electric field strength of 460 V cm−1 at 300 Hz.
