Rheological properties of rotator and crystalline phases of alkanes

Diana Cholakova, Krastina Tsvetkova, Slavka Tcholakova +1

Linear long-chain organic molecules are known to form lamellar intermediate phases (called also rotator phases) between their fully ordered crystalline phases and their isotropic l…

Rechargeable self-assembled droplet microswimmers driven by surface phase transitions

Diana Cholakova, Maciej Lisicki, Stoyan K. Smoukov +6

The design of artificial microswimmers is often inspired by the strategies of natural microorganisms. Many of these creatures exploit the fact that elasticity breaks the time-rever…
