Characterization and Quantitation of Carbon Black Nanomaterials in Polymeric and Biological Aqueous Dispersants by Asymmetrical Flow Field Flow Fract…
2021
Characterization of carbon black (CB) nanomaterials is required in industrial and research areas. Hence, in this study, asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation coupled to UV–vis and DLS detectors in series (AF4-UV–vis-DLS) was studied to evaluate the CB dispersion behavior in polymeric and biological dispersants, given the relevance of these media in practical applications. Under the experimental conditions, the results indicated that polymeric and biological dispersions showed size distributions with hydrodynamic diameters of 404 and 175 nm, respectively, for a particle core diameter of 40 nm. The polymeric dispersant provided lower stability as a function of time than that achieved by …

Influence of oscillating main flow on separation efficiency in asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation.
2021
The steadily rising interest in the investigation of interactions between nanomaterials and biological media has also led to an increasing interest in asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF-FFF). The biggest strength of AF-FFF is the possibility to alter the flow profiles to suit a specific separation problem. In this paper, the influence of an oscillating main flow on the separation efficiency of AF-FFF is investigated. Such oscillations can e.g. be caused by the main pump To investigate the influence of such flow conditions on the separation efficiency in AF-FFF systematically, different oscillation profiles were applied and their influence on the elution profile and the retention…
Flow properties and hydrodynamic interactions of rigid spherical microswimmers.
2017
We analyze a minimal model for a rigid spherical microswimmer and explore the consequences of its extended surface on the interplay between its self-propulsion and flow properties. The model is the first order representation of microswimmers, such as bacteria and algae, with rigid bodies and flexible propelling appendages. The flow field of such a microswimmer at finite distances significantly differs from that of a point-force (Stokeslet) dipole. For a suspension of microswimmers, we derive the grand mobility matrix that connects the motion of an individual swimmer to the active and passive forces and torques acting on all the swimmers. Our investigation of the mobility tensors reveals tha…

Aqueous Dilution of Noble NPs Bulk Dispersions: Modeling Instability due to Dissolution by AF4 and Stablishing Considerations for Plasmonic Assays
2020
Among different nanomaterials, gold and silver nanoparticles (AuNPs and AgNPs) have become useful tools for a wide variety of applications in general, and particularly for plasmonic assays. Particle size and stability analysis are key elements for their practical applications since the NPs properties depend on these parameters. Hence, in the present work, asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled to UV-Vis and dynamic light scattering (DLS) detectors in series, has been evaluated for stability studies of citrate-capped AuNPs and AgNPs aqueous dispersions. First, experimental parameters, such as mobile phase or cross-flow rate were optimized. Sodium azide to pH 7 for AuNPs and…
Mathematical description of the stimuli to the lateral line system of fish derived from a three-dimensional flow field analysis
1992
The spatial distributions of the stimuli to the lateral line system of a fish moving alongside or above a plane surface are derived mathematically. The derivation was done from the analysis of the three-dimensional potential flow field on the surface of fish with bodies of circular cross-section with different shapes.
Collision with and avoidance of obstacles by blind cave fish Anoptichthys jordani (Characidae).
1985
Blind Mexican cave fish (Anoptichthys jordani) were released into unknown surroundings and their swimming tracks were recorded. During the first 24 h in a new tank, i.e., in unfamiliar environments, the average swimming velocity of the fish was higher than during the remaining time in the tank. Collision with obstacles was recorded by an electrical contact detection method. Single frame analysis of video-recordings revealed that collision can be correlated with tail movements when the fish is close to an obstacle, whereas avoidance correlates with gliding during approach to an obstacle. These behavior patterns are discussed in the context of the flow field hypothesis and inhibition of the l…
