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…
