DNA-colloid systems and micro-rheology
We investigate the behaviour of DNA-colloid systems using micro-rheology, with a view to demonstrating the efficacy of passive particle-tracking methodologies and developing entirely new systems. Chapter 1 introduces the fields of DNA coated colloids (DNACCs) and passive micro-rheology, with a …

Colloidal Self-Assembly: Particle Synthesis, Functionalisation and Applications
Colloids, broadly defined as particles small enough to not sediment under gravitational force while dispersed in a continuous medium, are of great scientific and industrial importance. They are present in foods, cosmetics, paints and other materials, often in a jammed or a gelled state. This …

DNA Driven Assembly at Solid and Liquid Interfaces
This thesis presents work on the DNA directed assembly of colloids at liquid and solid interfaces under specifically sculpted attractive interactions via depletion forces and/or magnetic fields. The highly specific and thermally reversible nature of binding between two complementary single strands …
