Binary pusher-puller mixtures of active microswimmers and their collective behavior
Giorgio Pessot, Hartmut Löwen, Andreas M. Menzel
Microswimmers are active particles of microscopic size that self-propel by setting the surrounding fluid into motion. According to the kind of far-field fluid flow that they induce…
Tunable dynamic moduli of magnetic elastomers: from X-CT characterization to mesoscopic modeling
Giorgio Pessot, Malte Schümann, Thomas Gundermann +3
Ferrogels and magnetoelastomers are composite materials obtained by embedding magnetic particles of mesoscopic size in a crosslinked polymeric matrix. They combine the reversible e…
Dynamic Elastic Moduli in Magnetic Gels: Normal Modes and Linear Response
Giorgio Pessot, Hartmut Löwen, Andreas M. Menzel
In the perspective of developing smart hybrid materials with customized features, ferrogels and magnetorheological elastomers allow a synergy of elasticity and magnetism. The inter…
Buckling of paramagnetic chains in soft gels
Shilin Huang, Giorgio Pessot, Peet Cremer +6
We study the magneto-elastic coupling behavior of paramagnetic chains in soft polymer gels exposed to external magnetic fields. To this end, a laser scanning confocal microscope is…
Towards a scale-bridging description of ferrogels and magnetic elastomers
Giorgio Pessot, Rudolf Weeber, Christian Holm +2
Ferrogels and magnetic elastomers differentiate themselves from other materials by their unique capability of reversibly changing shape and mechanical properties under the influenc…
Structural control of elastic moduli in ferrogels and the importance of non-affine deformations
Giorgio Pessot, Peet Cremer, Dmitry Y. Borin +3
One of the central appealing properties of magnetic gels and elastomers is that their elastic moduli can reversibly be adjusted from outside by applying magnetic fields. The impact…
