Anisotropic Young-Laplace-equation provides insight into tissue growth
Peter Fratzl, F. Dieter Fischer, Gerald A. Zickler +1
Growing tissues are highly dynamic, flowing on sufficiently long time-scales due to cell proliferation, migration and tissue remodeling. As a consequence, living tissues can be app…
Curvature-controlled defect dynamics in active systems
Sebastian Ehrig, Jonathan Ferracci, Richard Weinkamer +1
We have studied the collective motion of polar active particles confined to ellipsoidal surfaces. The geometric constraints lead to the formation of vortices that encircle surface…
Programmable actuation of porous poly(ionic liquid) membranes by aligned carbon nanotubes
Huijuan Lin, Jiang Gong, Michaela Eder +4
A composite porous polymer membrane with aligned CNTs in its matrix is developed which exhibits programmable, anisotropic actuation towards organic vapors. The alignment of CNTs in…
Sensing solvents with ultra-sensitive porous poly(ionic liquid) actuators
Qiang Zhao, Jan Heyda, Joachim Dzubiella +3
We introduced a new concept for fabricating solvent stimulus polymer actuators with unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy. This was accomplished by integrating porous architecture…
