HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Catherine Kamal from the SchoolQueen Mary University of have published the research: Hydrodynamic slip can align thin nanoplatelets in shear flow, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
- what: In the present work, using a combination of Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Boundary Integral (BI) simulations, the authors demonstrate that in the case of graphene in water, slip induces a dramatic change in the rotational behaviour that goes beyond a simple slip-dependent change in rotational velocity. The authors show that Jeffery's theory13, which predicts no stable orientation, fails to describe the rotational dynamics . . .
