Colloids and Suspensions

2.7K
Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

25.7K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Colloids

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

Area of Science:

  • Colloid and Interface Science
  • Computational Materials Science
  • Statistical Physics

Background:

  • Characterizing colloidal self-assembly is vital for understanding complex system behavior.
  • Traditional methods using high-dimensional graphs struggle with non-reference structures.
  • Dimensionality reduction is essential for interpreting complex neighborhood graphs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a systematic framework for characterizing structural states in colloidal self-assembly.
  • To enable the interpretation of non-reference structures using dimensionality reduction.
  • To apply deep learning and clustering for classifying colloidal self-assembly states.

Main Methods:

  • Employing deep learning for dimensionality reduction of neighborhood graphs.
  • Utilizing agglomerative hierarchical clustering to partition the reduced-dimensional space.
  • Demonstrating the framework on in silico colloidal self-assembly systems.

Main Results:

  • Successfully characterized structural states in a simulated system of 500 multi-flavored colloids.
  • Validated the framework's generalizability on independent self-assembly trajectories.
  • Applied the framework to a larger system of 2052 particles undergoing evaporation-induced self-assembly.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework effectively characterizes complex colloidal self-assembly states.
  • Deep learning and clustering provide a robust method for analyzing disordered structures.
  • This approach enhances the fundamental understanding of stochastic self-assembly processes.
