Maximally Stiffening Composites Require Maximally Coupled Rather Than Maximally Entangled Polymer Species
Davide Michieletto, Robert Fitzpatrick, Rae M Robertson-Anderson
Polymer composites are ideal candidates for next generation biomimetic soft materials because of their exquisite bottom-up designability. However, the richness of behaviours comes…

Synergistic interactions between DNA and actin trigger emergent viscoelastic behavior
Robert Fitzpatrick, Davide Michieletto, Karthik R. Peddireddy +4
Composites of flexible and rigid polymers are ubiquitous in biology and industry alike, yet the physical principles determining their mechanical properties are far from understood.…
