Topology and Dynamics of Active Nematic Vesicles
Felix C. Keber, Etienne Loiseau, Tim Sanchez +6
Engineering synthetic materials that mimic the remarkable complexity of living organisms is a fundamental challenge in science and technology. We study the spatiotemporal patterns…
Molecular Tilt on Monolayer-Protected Nanoparticles
Luca Giomi, Mark J. Bowick, Xu Ma +1
The structure of the tilted phase of monolayer-protected nanoparticles is investigated by means of a simple Ginzburg-Landau model. The theory contains two dimensionless parameters…
Sheared active fluids: thickening, thinning and vanishing viscosity
Luca Giomi, M. Cristina Marchetti, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
We analyze the behavior of a suspension of active polar particles under shear. In the absence of external forces, orientationally ordered active particles are known to exhibit a tr…
