<< Swimming micro-objects exist in viscoelastic fluids. Elucidating the effect of viscoelasticity on the motion of these objects is important for understanding their behavior. >>
AA << examined the motion of Janus particles self-propelled by induced charge electrophoresis over a wide range of speeds in semidilute polymer solutions. In (Their) system, the motion of Janus particles changed from active Brownian motion to stationary rotation as the speed increased. The torque for stationary rotation originates from the difference between the direction of self-propulsion and that of the time-delayed restoring force from the polymer solution, which has been reported in another self-propelled particle system. The switch from active Brownian motion to stationary rotation at different polymer concentrations can be explained by the Weisenberg number, which is defined as the ratio of the relaxation time of the polymer network to the travel time of the Janus particle to its size. >>
