Synthetic micromotors are evaluated extensively in a range of biomedical, microscale transport, and environmental applications. Fundamental insight into micromotors that exhibit locomotion due to triggered disintegration of their associated liposomes is provided. Directed self-propulsion is observed when the lipid vesicles are solubilized using Triton X-100 (TX) and bile at sufficiently high concentrations. Directional motion, initiated by a propagating TX or bile gradient, is found when using a sufficiently high concentration of solubilization agents. On the other hand, a low bile concentration results in short-term reverse directional motion. The experimental and theoretical considerations offer valid fundamental understanding to complement the list of explored locomotion mechanisms for micromotors.
