Evaporation-Induced Pattern Formation and Wetting in Active Microtubule-Kinesin Droplets
Vahid Nasirimarekani, Mehrana R. Nejad, Olinka Ramírez-Soto +4
Active networks composed of biopolymers and motor proteins provide versatile biomimetic systems that have advanced active matter physics and deepened our understanding of cytoskele…
Creases as elastocapillary gates for autonomous droplet control
Zixuan Wu, Gavin Linton, Stefan Karpitschka +1
Droplets are the core functional units in microfluidic technologies that aim to integrate computation and reaction on a single platform. Achieving directed transport and control of…
Vapor-mediated wetting and imbibition control on micropatterned surfaces
Ze Xu, Raphael Saiseau, Olinka Ramírez Soto +1
Wetting of micropatterned surfaces is ubiquitous in nature and key to many technological applications like spray cooling, inkjet printing, and semiconductor processing. Overcoming…
Non-monotonic motion of sliding droplets on strained soft solids
Youchuang Chao, Hansol Jeon, Stefan Karpitschka
Soft materials are ubiquitous in technological applications that require deformability, for instance, in flexible, water-repellent coatings. However, the wetting properties of pre-…
Collective self-caging of active filaments in virtual confinement
Maximilian Kurjahn, Leila Abbaspour, Franziska Papenfuß +4
Motility coupled to responsive behavior is essential for many microorganisms to seek and establish appropriate habitats. One of the simplest possible responses, reversing the direc…
Wetting ridge dissipation at large deformations
Martin H. Essink, Stefan Karpitschka, Hamza K. Khattak +3
Liquid drops slide more slowly over soft, deformable substrates than over rigid solids. This phenomenon can be attributed to the viscoelastic dissipation induced by the moving wett…
