Disentangling kinetics from thermodynamics in heterogeneous colloidal systems
Hamed Almohammadi, Sandra Martinek, Ye Yuan +2
Nucleation and growth (N&G) - the emergence of a new phase within an initially homogeneous one - is one of the most important physical phenomena by which gas-liquid, liquid-liquid…
Sustainable bioplastics from amyloid fibril-biodegradable polymer blends
Mohammad Peydayesh, Massimo Bagnani, Raffaele Mezzenga
Plastic waste production is a global challenging problem since its accumulation in the environment is causing devastating effects on the planet's ecosystem. Sustainable and green s…
Flow-induced order-order transitions in amyloid fibril liquid crystalline tactoids
Hamed Almohammadi, Massimo Bagnani, Raffaele Mezzenga
Understanding and controlling the director field configuration, shape, and orientation in nematic and cholesteric liquid crystals is of fundamental importance in several branches o…
Beyond freezing: amorphous water in biomimetic soft nanoconfinement
Livia Salvati Manni, Salvatore Assenza, Michael Duss +6
Water is a ubiquitous liquid with unique physico-chemical properties, whose nature has shaped our planet and life as we know it. Water in restricted geometries has different proper…
Designing plasmonic eigenstates for optical signal transmission in planar channel devices
Upkar Kumar, Sviatlana Viarbitskaya, Aurélien Cuche +6
On-chip optoelectronic and all-optical information processing paradigms require compact implementation of signal transfer for which nanoscale surface plasmons circuitry offers rele…
Nanocellulose Fragmentation Mechanisms and Inversion of Chirality from the Single Particle to the Cholesteric Phase
Gustav Nyström, Jozef Adamcik, Ivan Usov +2
Understanding how nanostructure and nanomechanics influence physical material properties on the micro- and macroscale is an essential goal in soft condensed matter research. Mechan…
Confinement-Induced Liquid Crystalline Transitions and Chirality Inversion in Amyloid Fibril Cholesteric Tactoids
Gustav Nyström, Mario Arcari, Raffaele Mezzenga
Chirality is ubiquitous in nature and plays crucial roles in biology, medicine, physics and materials science. Understanding and controlling chirality is therefore an important res…
Adsorption at Liquid Interfaces Induces Amyloid Fibril Bending and Ring Formation
Sophia Jordens, Emily E. Riley, Ivan Usov +3
Protein fibril accumulation at interfaces is an important step in many physiological processes and neurodegenerative diseases as well as in designing materials. Here we show, using…
