随着大量关于在合成微米颗粒中产生推进力的报道,该研究领域的下一个目标是控制推进力的方向,以便它可以用于执行有用的任务。这篇简短的综述总结了这项研究的现状,包括使用外部施加的(例如电)或自然发生的场(例如重力)指导微粒的推进,由于化学梯度(趋化性)引起的迁移,以及颗粒相对于其他颗粒的位置组织(聚类)。
With numerous reports of creating propulsion in synthetic microsized particles, the next goal of this research field is to control the direction of propulsion so that it can be used to perform useful tasks. This mini-review summarizes the current state of this research including directing propulsion of microparticles using externally applied (e.g. electric) or naturally occurring fields (e.g. gravity), migration due to a chemical gradient (chemotaxis), and organization of particles’ position relative to other particles (clustering).
