Reversal of Solvent Migration in Poroelastic Folds
Mees M. Flapper, Anupam Pandey, Stefan Karpitschka +1
Polymer networks and biological tissues are often swollen by a solvent, such that their properties emerge from a coupling between swelling and elastic stress. This poroelastic coup…
How liquid-liquid phase separation induces active spreading
Youchuang Chao, Olinka Ramirez-Soto, Christian Bahr +1
The interplay between phase separation and wetting of multicomponent mixtures is ubiquitous in nature and technology and recently gained significant attention across scientific dis…
Quantifying gliding forces of filamentous cyanobacteria by self-buckling
Maximilian Kurjahn, Antaran Deka, Antoine Girot +5
Filamentous cyanobacteria are one of the oldest and today still most abundant lifeforms on earth, with manifold implications in ecology and economics. Their flexible filaments, oft…
Stick-Slip Contact Line Motion on Kelvin-Voigt Model Substrates
Dominic Mokbel, Sebastian Aland, Stefan Karpitschka
The capillary traction of a liquid contact line causes highly localized deformations in soft solids, tremendously slowing down wetting and dewetting dynamics by viscoelastic brakin…
