Characterizing hydrogel behavior under compression with gel-freezing osmometry
Yanxia Feng, Dominic Gerber, Stefanie Heyden +4
Hydrogels are particularly versatile materials that are widely found in both Nature and industry. One key reason for this versatility is their high water content, which lets them d…
Siloxane molecules: Nonlinear elastic behavior and fracture characteristics
Tianchi Li, Eric R. Dufresne, Martin Kröger +1
Fracture phenomena in soft materials span multiple length- and timescales. This poses a major challenge in computational modeling and predictive materials design. To pass quantitat…
Reconfigurable Artificial Microswimmers with Internal Feedback
L. Alvarez, M. A. Fernandez-Rodriguez, A. Alegria +4
Micron-size self-propelling particles are often proposed as synthetic models for biological microswimmers, yet they lack internally regulated adaptation, which is central to the au…
Dynamics and wetting behavior of soft particles at a fluid-fluid interface
Siddarth A. Vasudevan, Astrid Rauh, Martin Kröger +2
We investigate the conformation, position, and dynamics of core-shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) composed of a silica core encapsulated in a cross-linked poly-N-isopropylacrylamide shel…
Topological analysis of polymeric melts: Chain length effects and fast-converging estimators for entanglement length
Robert S. Hoy, Katerina Foteinopoulou, Martin Kröger
Primitive path analyses of entanglements are performed over a wide range of chain lengths for both bead spring and atomistic polyethylene polymer melts. Estimators for the entangle…
Systematic time-scale-bridging molecular dynamics applied to flowing polymer melts
Patrick Ilg, Hans Christian Öttinger, Martin Kröger
We present a novel thermodynamically guided, low-noise, time-scale bridging, and pertinently efficient strategy for the dynamic simulation of microscopic models for complex fluids.…
