Phantom-Chain Simulations for the Effect of Node Functionality on the Fracture of Star-Polymer Networks
Yuichi Masubuchi, Yuya Doi, Takato Ishida +5
The influence of node functionality (f) on the fracture of polymer networks remains unclear. While many studies have focused on multi-functional nodes with f>4, recent research sug…
Tri-branched gels: Rubbery materials with the lowest branching factor approach the ideal elastic limit
Takeshi Fujiyabu, Naoyuki Sakumichi, Takuya Katashima +4
Unlike hard materials such as metals and ceramics, rubbery materials can endure large deformations due to the large conformational degree of freedom of the crosslinked three-dimens…
Damageless Tough Hydrogels with On-demand Self-reinforcement
Chang Liu, Takeshi Fujiyabu, Naoya Morimoto +5
Most tough hydrogels are reinforced by introducing sacrificial structures that can dissipate input energy. However, since the sacrificial damages cannot recover instantly, the toug…
