Design Principles for Programmable Topological Soft Networks
Andrea Bonato, Davide Marenduzzo, Enzo Orlandini
Physical crosslinks in conventional gels are static and spatially localised, fundamentally limiting their capacity to adapt, self-heal, or perform mechanical work. Topological gels…
Topological Signatures of Hardness and Structural Order in Network-Forming Materials
Yair Augusto Gutiérrez Fosado, Ayobami Daramola, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Understanding how the topology of network forming materials influences their physical properties remains a longstanding challenge. Here, we investigate the topology of experimental…
Topological delocalisation of confined 3D active nematics
Louise C. Head, Pasquale Digregorio, Davide Marenduzzo +3
Defect lines in 3D active nematic systems are intriguing topological singularities whose out-of-equilibrium dynamics remain elusive in confined settings. Here, we numerically study…
Flow of deformable droplets: self-pinned glasses and string-like flow
Achille Quarante, Michael Chiang, Davide Marenduzzo +1
We investigate, through numerical simulations, the rheology of a dry suspension of deformable droplets under pressure-driven flow. The system exhibits two force-driven dynamical tr…
Geometry and relaxation dynamics of nematic loops
F. Aprile, A. J. H. Houston, G. Gonnella +3
Disclination lines in three-dimensional nematic liquid crystals generically form closed loops whose topology is classified by homotopy theory. While this classification successfull…
On the geometric algebras of the Ising model
N. Johnson, D. Marenduzzo, A. Morozov +2
We revisit the classical transfer matrix solution of the one- and two-dimensional Ising model from the perspective of Clifford and conformal geometric algebras. Building on Kaufman…
