Fluctuation-stabilized marginal networks and anomalous entropic elasticity
Matthew Dennison, Michael Sheinman, Cornelis Storm +1
We study the elastic properties of thermal networks of Hookean springs. In the purely mechanical limit, such systems are known to have vanishing rigidity when their connectivity fa…
Effective medium approach for stiff polymer networks with flexible cross-links
C. P. Broedersz, C. Storm, F. C. MacKintosh
Recent experiments have demonstrated that the nonlinear elasticity of in vitro networks of the biopolymer actin is dramatically altered in the presence of a flexible cross-linker s…
Nonlinear elasticity of composite networks of stiff biopolymers with flexible linkers
C. P. Broedersz, C. Storm, F. C. MacKintosh
Motivated by recent experiments showing nonlinear elasticity of in vitro networks of the biopolymer actin cross-linked with filamin, we present an effective medium theory of flexib…
