Nature-inspired microfluidic propulsion using magnetic actuation
S. N. Khaderi, M. G. H. M. Baltussen, P. D. Anderson +3
In this work we mimic the efficient propulsion mechanism of natural cilia by magnetically actuating thin films in a cyclic but non-reciprocating manner. By simultaneously solving t…
Magnetically-actuated artificial cilia for microfluidic propulsion
S. N. Khaderi, M. G. H. M. Baltussen, P. D. Anderson +3
Natural cilia are hair-like microtubule-based structures that are able to move fluid at low Reynolds number through asymmetric motion. In this paper we follow a biomimetic approach…
Stiffening of semiflexible biopolymers and cross-linked networks
T. Van Dillen, P. R. Onck, E. Van der Giessen
We study the mechanical stiffening behavior in two-dimensional (2D) cross-linked networks of semiflexible biopolymer filaments under simple shear. Filamental constituents immersed…
