Critical behaviour in the nonlinear elastic response of hydrogels
M. Dennison, M. Jaspers, P. H. J. Kouwer +3
In this paper we study the elastic response of synthetic hydrogels to an applied shear stress. The hydrogels studied here have previously been shown to mimic the behaviour of biopo…

Modeling semiflexible polymer networks
Chase P. Broedersz, Fred. C. MacKintosh
Here, we provide an overview of theoretical approaches to semiflexible polymers and their networks. Such semiflexible polymers have large bending rigidities that can compete with t…
