BARCODE: Biomaterial Activity Readouts to Categorize, Optimize, Design and Engineer for high throughput screening and characterization of dynamically restructuring soft materials
Qiaopeng Chen, Aditya Sriram, Ayan Das +8
Active, responsive, nonequilibrium materials, at the forefront of materials engineering, offer dynamical restructuring, mobility and other complex life-like properties. Yet, this e…
Active and passive crosslinking of cytoskeleton scaffolds tune the effects of cell inclusions on composite structure
Katarina Matic, Nimisha Krishnan, Eric Frank +7
Incorporating cells within active biomaterial scaffolds is a promising strategy to develop forefront materials that can autonomously sense, respond, and alter the scaffold in respo…
Cooperative rheological state-switching of enzymatically-driven composites of circular DNA and dextran
Juexin Marfai, Ryan J. McGorty, Rae M. Robertson-Anderson
Polymer topology, which plays a principal role in the rheology of polymeric fluids, and non-equilibrium materials, which exhibit time-varying rheological properties, are topics of…
Polymer threadings and rigidity dictate the viscoelasticity and nonlinear relaxation dynamics of entangled ring-linear blends and their composites with rigid rod microtubules
Karthik R. Peddireddy, Ryan Clairmont, Rae M. Robertson-Anderson
Mixtures of polymers of varying topologies and stiffnesses display complex emergent rheological properties that often cannot be predicted from their single-component counterparts.…
Nonlinear molecular deformations give rise to stress stiffening, yielding and non-uniform stress propagation in actin networks
Bekele Gurmessa, Shea Ricketts, Rae M. Robertson-Anderson
We use optical tweezers microrheology and fluorescence microscopy to apply nonlinear microscale strains to entangled and crosslinked actin networks, and measure the resulting stres…
