Shear recovery and temperature stability of Ca2+ and Ag+ glycolipid fibrillar metallogels with unusual -sheet-like domains

Alexandre Poirier, Thomas Bizien, Thomas Zinn +2

Low-molecular weight gelators (LMWG) are small molecules (Mw < ~1 kDa), which form self-assembled fibrillar networks (SAFiN) hydrogels in water. The great majority of SAFiN gels is…

Energy Landscape of Sugar Conformation Controls the Sol-to-Gel Transition in Self-assembled Bola Glycolipid Hydrogels

Alexandre Poirier, Patrick Le Griel, Thomas Zinn +4

Self-assembled fibrillar network (SAFIN) hydrogels and organogels are commonly obtained by a crystallization process into fibers induced by external stimuli like temperature or pH.…

Polished diamond x-ray lenses

Rafael Celestre, Sergey Antipov, Edgar Gomez +3

We present high quality bi-concave 2D focusing diamond x-ray lenses of apex-radius m produced via laser-ablation and improved via a mechanical polishing process. Both for…

Using low dose X-ray Speckle Visibility Spectroscopy to study dynamics of soft matter samples

Johannes Möller, Mario Reiser, Jörg Hallmann +10

We demonstrate the successful application of X-ray Speckle Visibility Spectroscopy (XSVS) experiments to study the dynamics of radiation sensitive, biological samples with unpreced…

Unveiling the Interstitial Pressure Between Growing Ice Crystals During Ice-Templating Using a Lipid Lamellar Probe

Niki Baccile, Thomas Zinn, Guillaume Laurent +3

What is pressure generated by ice crystals during ice-templating? This work addresses this crucial question by estimating the pressure exerted by oriented ice columns on a supramol…

Soft lamellar solid foams from ice-templating of self-assembled lipid hydrogels: organization drives the mechanical properties

Ghazi Ben Messaoud, Niki Baccile, Ghazi Messaoud +2

Ice-templating, also referred to as freeze-casting, is a process exploiting unidirectional crystallization of ice to structure macroporous materials from colloidal solutions. Commo…
