Tactile Perception through Fluid-Solid Interaction
Arman Goshtasbi, Minke Berghuis, Aida Parvaresh +3
Soft tactile sensors elevate robotic touch through enhanced flexibility and adaptability, yet most existing designs depend on embedded electronics that are susceptible to interfere…
Shape anisotropy governs organization of active rods: Swarming, turbulence, flocking, and jamming
Yogesh Shelke, Anpuj Nair S, Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri
Shape anisotropy of individual building blocks plays a crucial role in creating exotic structures and controlling phase behavior in equilibrium systems. We present a combined exper…
Programmable Persistent Random Walks in Active Brownian Particles Govern Emergent Dynamics
Tarun Sunkesula Raghavendra, Yogesh Shelke, Stijn van der Ham +2
Self-propelled particles serve as minimal models for emulating the dynamic self-organization of microorganisms, yet most synthetic systems remain limited to a single mode of motion…
Dynamic bidirectional coupling of membrane morphology and rod organization in flexible vesicles
Stijn van der Ham, André F. V. Matias, Marjolein Dijkstra +1
The ordering of rod-like particles in soft, deformable containers emerges from the interplay of anisotropic interactions, geometric confinement, and boundary compliance. This compe…
How elasticity affects bubble pinch-off
Coen I. Verschuur, Alexandros T. Oratis, Vatsal Sanjay +1
The pinch-off of bubbles in viscoelastic liquids is a fundamental process that has received little attention compared to viscoelastic drop pinch-off. While these processes exhibit…
Hysteresis in the freeze-thaw cycle of emulsions and suspensions
Wilfried Raffi, Jochem G. Meijer, Detlef Lohse
Freeze-thaw cycles can be regularly observed in nature in water and are essential in industry and science. Objects present in the medium will interact with either an advancing soli…
Why and when merging surface nanobubbles jump
Yixin Zhang, Xiangyu Zhang, Detlef Lohse
Gas bubble accumulation on substrates reduces the efficiency of many physicochemical processes, such as water electrolysis. For microbubbles, where buoyancy is negligible, coalesce…
Unifying atoms and colloids near the glass transition through bond-order topology
Laura Stricker, Peter M. Derlet, Ahmet Faik Demirörs +2
In this combined experimental and simulation study, we utilize bond-order topology to quantitatively match particle volume fraction in mechanically uniformly compressed colloidal s…
Frozen Cheerios effect: Particle-particle interaction induced by an advancing solidification front
Jochem G. Meijer, Vincent Bertin, Detlef Lohse
Particles at liquid interfaces have the tendency to cluster due to capillary forces competing with gravitational buoyancy (i.e., normal to the distorted free surface). This is know…
Similarity solutions in elastohydrodynamic bouncing
Vincent Bertin
We investigate theoretically and numerically the impact of an elastic sphere on a rigid wall in a viscous fluid. Our focus is on the dynamics of the contact, employing the soft lub…
Non-equilibrium configurations of swelling polymer brush layers induced by spreading drops of weakly volatile oil
Özlem Kap, Simon Hartmann, Harmen Hoek +4
Polymer brush layers are responsive materials that swell in contact with good solvents and their vapors. We deposit drops of an almost completely wetting volatile oil onto an oleop…
Shape matters: Competing mechanisms of particle shape segregation
D. Hernández-Delfin, D. R. Tunuguntla, T. Weinhart +2
It is well-known that granular mixtures that differ in size or shape segregate when sheared. In the past, two mechanisms have been proposed to describe this effect, and it is uncle…
Buckling of lipidic ultrasound contrast agents under quasi-static load
Georges Chabouh, Benjamin van Elburg, Michel Versluis +3
Collapse of lipidic ultrasound contrast agents under high-frequency compressive load has been historically interpreted by the vanishing of surface tension. By contrast, buckling of…
Reversal of Solvent Migration in Poroelastic Folds
Mees M. Flapper, Anupam Pandey, Stefan Karpitschka +1
Polymer networks and biological tissues are often swollen by a solvent, such that their properties emerge from a coupling between swelling and elastic stress. This poroelastic coup…
Elastostatics of star-polygon tile-based architectured planar lattices
Celal Soyarslan, Andrew Gleadall, Jiongyi Yan +2
A panoptic view of architectured planar lattices based on star-polygon tilings was developed. Four star-polygon-based lattice sub-families, formed of systematically arranged triang…
Nanoparticle Taylor dispersion near charged surfaces with an open boundary
Alexandre Vilquin, Vincent Bertin, Elie Raphaël +3
The dispersive spreading of microscopic particles in shear flows is influenced both by advection and thermal motion. At the nanoscale, interactions between such particles and their…
General weak segregation theory with an application to monodisperse semi-flexible diblock copolymers
P. M. Jager, W. J. Briels, J. J. M. Slot
A general theory has been developed for a polydisperse semi-flexible multi-block copolymer melt. Using the Bawendi-Freed approach to model semi-flexible chains an expression for th…
Absence of anomalous underscreening in highly concentrated aqueous electrolytes confined between smooth silica surfaces
Saravana Kumar, Peter Cats, Mohammed B. Alotaibi +5
Recent experiments and a series of subsequent theoretical studies suggest the occurrence of universal underscreening in highly concentrated electrolyte solutions. We performed a se…
Soft wetting with (a)symmetric Shuttleworth effect
C. Henkel, M. H. Essink, Tuong Hoang +4
The wetting of soft polymer substrates brings in multiple complexities as compared to the wetting on rigid substrates. The contact angle of the liquid is no longer governed by Youn…
Feedback-controlled microbubble generator producing one million monodisperse bubbles per second
Benjamin van Elburg, Gonzalo Collado Lara, Gert-Wim Bruggert +3
Monodisperse lipid-coated microbubbles are a promising route to unlock the full potential of ultrasound contrast agents for medical diagnosis and therapy. Here, we present a stand-…
Pinning-induced folding-unfolding asymmetry in adhesive creases
Michiel A. J. van Limbeek, Martin H. Essink, Anupam Pandey +2
The compression of soft elastic matter and biological tissue can lead to creasing, an instability where a surface folds sharply into periodic self-contacts. Intriguingly, the unfol…
Bulk Modulus along Jamming Transition Lines of Bidisperse Granular Packings
Juan C. Petit, Nishant Kumar, Stefan Luding +1
We present 3D DEM simulations of bidisperse granular packings to investigate their jamming densities, , and dimensionless bulk moduli, , as a function of the size ratio, $δ…
