Training and re-training liquid crystal elastomer metamaterials for pluripotent functionality
Savannah D. Gowen, Elina Ghimire, Charlie A. Lindberg +3
Training has emerged as a promising materials design technique in which function can be acheived through repeated physical modification of an existing material rather than by direc…

Shear thickening in suspensions of particles with dynamic brush layers
Hojin Kim, Michael van der Naald, Finn A. Braaten +3
Control of frictional interactions among liquid-suspended particles has led to tunable, strikingly non-Newtonian rheology via the formation of strong flow constraints as particles…

Numerical Study of Cleavable Bond-Modified Polyethylene for Circular Polymer Design
Maria Ley-Flores, Archit Chabbi, Riccardo Alessandri +4
There is considerable interest in designing new polymeric materials with built-in mechanisms for recycling. In this work, we present a systematic exploration of several polyethylen…
