Leak-rate of seals: effective medium theory and comparison with experiment

B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson

Seals are extremely useful devices to prevent fluid leakage. We present an effective medium theory of the leak-rate of rubber seals, which is based on a recently developed contact…

The Dynamic Transition of Protein Hydration Water

W. Doster, S. Busch, A. M. Gaspar +3

Thin layers of water on biomolecular and other nanostructured surfaces can be supercooled to temperatures not accessible with bulk water. Chen et al. [PNAS 103, 9012 (2006)] sugges…

Budding and vesiculation induced by conical membrane inclusions

Thorsten Auth, Gerhard Gompper

Conical inclusions in a lipid bilayer generate an overall spontaneous curvature of the membrane that depends on concentration and geometry of the inclusions. Examples are integral…

Optical Experiments on a Crystallizing Hard Sphere - Polymer Mixture at Coexistence

Andreas Stipp, Hans-Joachim Schoepe, Thomas Palberg +3

We report on the crystallization kinetics in an entropically attractive colloidal system using a combination of time resolved scattering methods and microscopy. Hard sphere particl…

Tube Width Fluctuations in F-Actin Solutions

J. Glaser, D. Chakraborty, K. Kroy +6

We determine the statistics of the local tube width in F-actin solutions, beyond the usually reported mean value. Our experimental observations are explained by a segment fluid the…

Supersaturated dispersions of rod-like viruses with added attraction

P. Holmqvist, M. Ratajczyk, G. Meier +2

The kinetics of isotropic-nematic (I-N) and nematic-isotropic (N-I) phase transitions in dispersions of rod-like {\it fd}-viruses are studied. Concentration quenches were applied u…
