Nanoparticles deposition dynamics and accumulation mechanisms

<p dir="ltr">This thesis investigates the deposition of nanoparticles within a capillary, a largely unexplored area, compared to deposition on flat substrates. By understanding the impact of particle size and speed on self-assembly within capillaries, this research aims to establish a foundational framework for future studies and applications. The study is divided into two experimental stages conducted via simulation. In Stage I, the effect of a wide range of Péclet numbers on the growth of monodisperse particles in a capillary is examined, spanning from diffusive to ballistic regimes. Stage II maintains a constant Péclet number across simulations while varying the geometric standard deviation to produce polydisperse particles. The results from both stages will be graphically represented, providing insights into the behaviour of nanoparticle deposition in confined geometries. This work aims to contribute significantly to understanding nanoparticle self-assembly in capillaries, with potential applications in nanotechnology and materials science.</p>
