Dynamic manipulation of friction in smart textile composites of liquid-crystal elastomers
Takuya Ohzono, Mohand O. Saed, Youfeng Yue +2
Smart surfaces that reversibly change the interfacial friction coefficients in response to external stimuli enable a wide range of applications, such as grips, seals, brake pads, p…
FliI6-FliJ molecular motor assists with unfolding in the type III secretion export apparatus
Jiri Kucera, Eugene M. Terentjev
The role of rotational molecular motors of the ATP synthase class is integral to the metabolism of cells. Yet the function of FliI6-FliJ complex - homologous to the F1 ATPase motor…
Siloxane crosslinks with dynamic bond exchange enable shape programming in liquid-crystalline elastomers
Mohand O. Saed, Eugene M. Terentjev
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCE) undergo reversible shape changes in response to stimuli, which may enable a wide range of smart applications, such as soft robot, adhesive syste…
Comparison of the Helmholtz, Gibbs, and Collective-modes methods to obtain nonaffine elastic constants
Bingyu Cui, Eugene Terentjev
We review and compare the Born-Huang and the Lemaitre-Maloney's theories that lead to analytical expressions for elastic constants, accounting for affine and nonaffine deformations…
Stimulated binding of polymer chains by narrow tube confinement
Gillian M. Fraser, Eugene M. Terentjev
In biology, there are several processes in which unfolded protein chains are transported along narrow-tube channels. Normally, without such a severe configurational constraint, unf…
