Propulsion study in complex medium and in artificial vasculature
We are interested in investigating, experimental and fundamental studies, on how the developed microswimmer behaves in biologically relevant complex medium.
Biological fluid consists of macromolecules, cells, and dense gel-like networks of interconnected polymer chains. As of now, motions of artificial microswimmers have been limited to simple Newtonian fluid i.e. in water. We are interested in investigating, experimental and fundamental studies, on how the developed microswimmer behaves in biologically relevant complex medium such as in undiluted blood, methylcellulose solutions, gelatin, hydrogel, hyaluronic acid, etc. Additionally, we will be exploring how these microswimmer navigates through artificial vasculature [1] and at interfaces.
