Biological Motor To Move Loads At Microscales-Kinematic Analysis

Magnetic force was introduced as one of the method to control the motion of microalgae. To make the microalgae become magnetically responsive, the cation polymer binder, poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) was used to promote the effective attachment of iron oxide nano particles (IONPs) o...
