title: Self-Propelled and Long-Time Transport Motion of PVC Particles on a Water Surface.
abstract: Driven by the Marangoni effect, a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) particle runs in its orbit (a) with high velocity due to the release of surfactant and heat. The PVC particles are also able to efficiently drive an aluminum bulk and to induce spinning and quick runs on a water surface (b).
