i-Rheo-Tempo: A Model-Free, Quadrature-Free Reconstruction of the Shear Relaxation Modulus from Complex Viscosity
Jorge Ramírez, Manlio Tassieri
Reliable transformation between frequency- and time-domain material functions remains a central challenge in linear viscoelasticity due to finite bandwidth, discrete sampling, and…
Persistence length and plateau modulus of semiflexible entangled polymers in primitive chain network simulations
Yuichi Masubuchi, Manlio Tassieri, Giovanni Ianniruberto +1
The relationship between the plateau modulus (G_0) and the persistence length (L_p) of entangled semiflexible polymers is still uncertain. Some previous theoretical models have pre…
What Caging Force Cells Feel in 3D Hydrogels: A Rheological Perspective
Giuseppe Ciccone, Oana Dobre, Graham M. Gibson +3
It is established that the mechanical properties of hydrogels control the fate of (stem) cells. However, despite its importance, a one-to-one correspondence between gels' stiffness…
Measuring storage and loss moduli using optical tweezers: broadband microrheology
Manlio Tassieri, Graham M. Gibson, R. M. L. Evans +4
We present an experimental procedure to perform broadband microrheological measurements with optical tweezers. A generalised Langevin equation is adopted to relate the time-depende…
Direct conversion of rheological compliance measurements into storage and loss moduli
R M L Evans, Manlio Tassieri, Dietmar Auhl +1
We remove the need for Laplace/inverse-Laplace transformations of experimental data, by presenting a direct and straightforward mathematical procedure for obtaining frequency-depen…
Dynamics of semi-flexible polymer solutions in the highly entangled regime
Manlio Tassieri, R. M. L. Evans, Lucian Barbu-Tudoran +3
We present experimental evidence that the effective medium approximation (EMA), developed by D.C. Morse [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 63}, 031502, (2001)], provides the correct scaling law of…
