20. The polarization (uncharged) behavior of the herein used colloids was demonstrated in separate on-chip dielectrophoresis experiments, see Supporting Information, in which the particles assembled to form colloidal nanowires on both electrodes under the influence of AC- and DC electric fields.
21. The Reynolds number is calculated by Re = v with v being the ejection velocity, d the orifice diameter, the kinematic viscosity of the colloidal suspension. The Capillary number is calculated by Ca = with being the dynamic viscosity and the surface tension of the suspension.
