要旨

This perspective article will give an overview of recent experimental results related to the realization and use of anisotropic magnetic colloids, i.e. microscopic particles having the shape, composition or structured surface which set a preferred magnetization direction. The possibility of remotely controlling these soft matter building blocks via external fields makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, from their use as active microrheological probes to infer the viscoelastic properties of complex fluids to their implementation as active systems in microfluidic devices. This article will also review the recent use of these anisotropic units as field driven or guided propellers, which can be magnetically moved or guided in a fluid medium, thus being potentially useful in precise single-particle drug delivery operations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
