Decoupling Structure and Elasticity in Colloidal Gels Under Isotropic Compression
M. Milani, E. Cavalletti, V. Ruzzi +6
We exploit the controlled drying of millimeter-sized gel beads to investigate isotropic compression of colloidal fractal gels. Using a custom dynamic light scattering setup, we dem…
Decoupling dynamics and crosslink stability in supramolecular hydrogels using associative exchange
Pierre Le Bourdonnec, Charafeddine Ferkous, Leo Communal +2
The design of hydrogels that combine mechanical robustness with dynamic reconfigurability remains a fundamental challenge, as increasing crosslink dissociation rates compromise net…
Synthesis of spherical mesoporous silica beads with tunable size, stiffness and porosity
M. Milani, K. Ahmad, E. Cavalletti +5
We present an innovative template-free water-based sol-gel method to produce uniform mesoporous silica beads of millimeter size, which have tunable size, stiffness and porosity, an…
Atomic-scale relaxation dynamics and aging in a metallic glass probed by X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy
B. Ruta, Y. Chushkin, G. Monaco +5
We use X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy to investigate the structural relaxation process in a metallic glass on the atomic length scale. We report evidence for a dynamical cro…
