Self-assembly of millimeter-scale magnetic particles in suspension

Abstract

Self-assembly is ubiquitous at all scales in nature. Most studies have focused on the self-assembly of micron-scale and nano-scale components. In this study, we explore the self-assembly of millimeter-scale magnetic...

“…In the study by Hafez et al., stochastic models were used to analyze the self‐assembly of millimeter‐scale magnetic particles, focusing on the dynamics within a bubble‐column reactor (Figure 2h). [78] The research centered on understanding how hydrodynamic forces, magnetic interactions, and the dimensionless Mason number influence the assembly process. The self‐assembly was identified as collision‐limited, where the optimal assembly efficiency was found at intermediate Mason numbers.…”
