Artificial Micromotors: Active Colloids, Microbots, and Beyond

This book is intended to be an accessible and useful reference for conducting experimental research into self-propelled micro- and nanoparticles, commonly referred to as "active colloids." These particles show numerous interesting behaviors and have a wide variety of potential applications in energy, environmental remediation, and biomedicine; however, working with active colloids can be daunting. Active colloids are an inherently interdisciplinary field of research, and thus the skills and...
