Rethinking failure in polymer networks: a probabilistic view on progressive damage
Noy Cohen, Nikolaos Bouklas, Chung-Yuen Hui
The mechanics of single-chain stretching and rupture are central to understanding the resilience of biological polymers and designing strong and tough soft materials such as double…
Plasticity, hysteresis, and recovery mechanisms in spider silk fibers
Renata Olivé, José Pérez-Riguero, Noy Cohen
Spider silk is a remarkable biomaterial with exceptional stiffness, strength, and toughness stemming from a unique microstructure. While recent studies show that silk fibers exhibi…
Phase coexistence in thermo-responsive PNIPAM hydrogels triggered by mechanical forces
Noy Cohen
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is a temperature-responsive polymer that undergoes large volumetric deformations through a transition from a swollen to a collapsed state at th…
Towards a physics-based modelling of the electro-mechanical coupling in EAPs
Noy Cohen, Andreas Menzel, Gal deBotton
Due to the increasing number of industrial applications of electro-active polymers (EAPs), there is a growing need for electromechanical models which accurately capture their behav…
