Self-propelled running droplets on solid substrates driven by chemical reactions
K. John, M. Baer, U. Thiele
We study chemically driven running droplets on a partially wetting solid substrate by means of coupled evolution equations for the thickness profile of the droplets and the density…
Interface mediated interactions between particles -- a geometrical approach
Martin Michael Mueller, Markus Deserno, Jemal Guven
Particles bound to an interface interact because they deform its shape. The stresses that result are fully encoded in the geometry and described by a divergence-free surface stress…
Attraction of like-charged macroions in the strong-coupling limit
Ali Naji, Roland R. Netz
Like-charged macroions attract each other as a result of strong electrostatic correlations in the presence of multivalent counterions or at low temperatures. We investigate the eff…
Non-linear Osmotic Brush Regime: Simulations and mean-field theory
Ali Naji, Roland R. Netz, Christian Seidel
We investigate polyelectrolyte brushes in the osmotic regime using both theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics simulation techniques. In the simulations at moderate Bjerrum le…
Effect of Poisson ratio on cellular structure formation
Ilka B. Bischofs, Ulrich S. Schwarz
Mechanically active cells in soft media act as force dipoles. The resulting elastic interactions are long-ranged and favor the formation of strings. We show analytically that due t…
Dynamic surface decoupling in a sheared polymer melt
X. Zhou, D. Andrienko, L. Delle Site +1
We propose that several mechanisms contribute to friction in a polymer melt adsorbed at a structured surface. The first one is the well known disentanglement of bulk polymer chains…
