摘要: Flagellated chemotactic bacteria have been utilized as actuators for propulsion of polystyrene microbeads by randomly attaching several on their surface. In this work, a plasma-based patterning technique is developed and used to limit attachment approximately half the microbead’s Consequently, effect quantity configuration attached speed studied experimentally. It shown that correlation between number strong function it follows one two distinct trends quantified proposed stochastic model.
