A possible application of self-propelling particles is the transport of microscopic cargo. Maximizing the collection and transport efficiency of particulate matter requires the area swept by the moving particle to be as large as possible. One such particle geometry are rods propelled perpendicular to their long axis, that act as "sweepers" for collecting particles. Here we report on the required Janus coating to achieve such motion, and on the dynamics of the collection and transport of microscopic cargo by sideways propelled Janus rods.
自推进粒子的一个可能应用是微观货物的运输。要使颗粒物的收集和运输效率最大化，就要求移动粒子扫过的面积尽可能大。一种这样的粒子几何形状是垂直于其长轴推进的杆状粒子，它们可作为收集粒子的“清扫器”。在此，我们报告实现这种运动所需的Janus涂层，以及侧向推进的Janus杆对微观货物的收集和运输动力学。
