Programmed Wrapping and Assembly of Droplets with Mesoscale Polymers
Dylan M. Barber, Zhefei Yang, Lucas Prevost +4
Nature is remarkably adept at using interfaces to build structures, encapsulate reagents, and regulate biological processes. Inspired by Nature, we describe flexible polymer-based…
Signatures of elastoviscous buckling in the dilute rheology of stiff polymers
Brato Chakrabarti, Yanan Liu, Olivia du Roure +2
As a stiff polymer tumbles in shear flow, it experiences compressive viscous forces that can cause it to buckle and undergo a sequence of morphological transitions with increasing…
Optimised hyperbolic microchannels for the mechanical characterisation of bio-particles
Yanan Liu, Konstantinos Zografos, Joana Fidalgo +8
The transport of bio-particles in viscous flows exhibits a rich variety of dynamical behaviour, such as morphological transitions, complex orientation dynamics or deformations. Cha…
Microfluidic In Situ Measurement of Poisson's Ratio of Hydrogels
Jean Cappello, Vincent d'Herbemont, Anke Lindner +1
Being able to precisely characterize the mechanical properties of soft microparticles is essential for numerous situations from the understanding of the flow of biological fluids t…
Flexible filaments buckle into helicoidal shapes in strong compressional flows
Brato Chakrabarti, Yanan Liu, John LaGrone +5
The occurrence of coiled or helical morphologies is common in nature, from plant roots to DNA packaging into viral capsids, as well as in applications such as oil drilling processe…
Morphological transitions of elastic filaments in shear flow
Yanan Liu, Brato Chakrabarti, David Saintillan +2
The morphological dynamics, instabilities and transitions of elastic filaments in viscous flows underlie a wealth of biophysical processes from flagellar propulsion to intracellula…
