Colloidal rod dynamics under large amplitude oscillatory extensional flow
Steffen M. Recktenwald, Vincenzo Calabrese, Amy Q. Shen +2
We perform a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the orientational dynamics of rod-like colloidal particles in dilute suspension as they are subjected to a time-…

Capillary-driven thinning of DNA solutions
Vincenzo Calabrese, Silvia Nardone, Amy Q. Shen +1
Capillary thinning of polymeric fluids is central to biological and industrial processes, yet the mechanisms governing thinning dynamics remain unresolved, especially for semi-flex…

Extensibility governs the flow-induced alignment of polymers and rod-like colloids
Vincenzo Calabrese, Tatiana Porto Santos, Carlos G. Lopez +3
Polymers and rod-like colloids (PaRC) adopt a favorable orientation under sufficiently strong flows. However, how the flow kinematics affect the alignment of such nanostructures ac…
