Description:
Author(s): Matthew D. Gratale, Tim Still, Caitlin Matyas, Zoey S. Davidson, Samuel Lobel, Peter J. Collings, and A. G. Yodh Depletion forces arise as a result of an entropic imbalance when small nonadsorbing objects are introduced in a suspension of large objects. This paper explores the experimental consequences of using nonspherical depletants whose anisotropy can be tuned using temperature, and thus it opens up the possibility of immediate, real-time tuning of the interparticle attraction.
