Complex fluids in the animal kingdom
Patrick A. Rühs, Jotam Bergfreund, Pascal Bertsch +2
Animals have evolved distinctive survival strategies in response to constant selective pressure. In this review, we highlight how animals exploit complex flow phenomena by manipula…

Interplay between structure and relaxation in polyurea networks: the point of view from a novel method of cooperativity analysis of dielectric response
Nerea Sebastián, Christophe Contal, Antoni Sánchez-Ferrer +1
The influence of structural constraints on the relaxation dynamics of three polyurea networks with varying degree of crosslinking, has been studied by means of a thorough analysis…

Photodynamics of stress in clamped nematic elastomers
Milos Knezevic, Mark Warner, Martin Copic +1
We describe the complex time-dependence of the build up of force exerted by a clamped photo-elastomer under illumination. Nonlinear (non-Beer) absorption leads to a bleaching wave…
