Molecular simulations of phase separation in elastic polymer networks
Takahiro Yokoyama, Yicheng Qiang, David Zwicker +1
Phase separation within polymer networks plays a central role in shaping the structure and mechanics of both synthetic materials and living cells, including the formation of biomol…
Phase separation with non-local interactions
Filipe C. Thewes, Yicheng Qiang, Oliver W. Paulin +1
Phase separation in complex systems is a ubiquitous phenomenon. While simple theories predict coarsening until only macroscopically large phases remain, concrete models often exhib…
Advection selects pattern in multistable emulsions of active droplets
Stefan Köstler, Yicheng Qiang, Guido Kusters +1
Controlling the size of droplets, for example in biological cells, is challenging because large droplets typically outcompete smaller droplets due to surface tension. This coarseni…
Dynamics of phase separation in non-local elastic networks
Oliver W. Paulin, Yicheng Qiang, David Zwicker
Phase separation of a liquid mixture embedded within an elastic network is relevant to a wide range of natural and industrial systems, including biomolecular condensates interactin…
Self-propulsion via non-transitive phase coexistence in chemically active mixtures
Yicheng Qiang, Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Phase separation drives the formation of biomolecular condensates in cells, which comprise many components and sometimes possess multiple phases. The equilibrium physics of phase s…
