Ultimately deformed double-network gels possess positive energetic elasticity
Chika Imaoka, Tatsunari Masumi, Jian Ping Gong +2
The elasticity of rubbery polymer networks has been considered to be entropy-driven. On the other hand, studies on single polymer chain mechanics have revealed that the elasticity…

Nonlinearity tunes crack dynamics in soft materials
Fucheng Tian, Jian Ping Gong
Cracks in soft materials exhibit diverse dynamic patterns, involving straight, oscillation, branching, and supershear fracture. Here, we successfully reproduce these crack morpholo…
