Active Brownian particles (2012, unknown): “[173,260,164,185,233,194] or a recent reviews in [92,135]).”
Active Particles in Complex and Crowded Environments (2016, background): “In general, microswimmers can be powered by two main categories of propulsion mechanisms (Ebbens and Howse, 2010): they can be powered by local conversion of energy (e.g. catalytic processes); or they can be driven by external (e.g. electric, magnetic, acoustic) fields.”
Active suspensions and their nonlinear models (2013, background): “On the experimental side, the prospect of using synthetic autonomous microswimmers [16,17,19,20,140,141] such as chemically powered nanorods may offer an opportunity to test predictions from kinetic theories and other models more quantitatively, though such swimmers have yet to be deployed in large ”
Particle motion driven by solute gradients with application to autonomous motion: continuum and colloidal perspectives (2010, background): “…particle motion is the autonomous motion of catalytic nanomotors (Paxton et al. 2004, 2006; Golestanian, Liverpool & Ajdari 2005, 2007; Hong et al. 2007; Abecassis et al. 2008; Córdova-Figueroa & Brady 2008; Ibele et al. 2009; Kagan et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2009; Ebbens & Howse 2010).”
