Generalized Deam-Edwards Approach to the Statistical Mechanics of Randomly Crosslinked Systems
Xiangjun Xing, Bing-Sui Lu, Fangfu Ye +1
We address the statistical mechanics of randomly and permanently crosslinked networks. We develop a theoretical framework (vulcanization theory) which can be used to systematically…
Statistical physics of isotropic-genesis nematic elastomers: I. Structure and correlations at high temperatures
Bing-Sui Lu, Fangfu Ye, Xiangjun Xing +1
Isotropic-genesis nematic elastomers (IGNEs) are liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) that have been randomly, permanently cross-linked in the high-temperature state so as to form an…
Lipid Segregation on Cylindrically and Spherically Curved Membranes
Fangfu Ye, Robin L. B. Selinger, Jonathan V. Selinger
We investigate how an externally imposed curvature influences lipid segregation on two-phase-coexistent membranes. We show that the bending-modulus contrast of the two phases and t…
Shape and Chirality Transitions in Off-Axis Twist Nematic Elastomer Ribbons
Yoshiki Sawa, Kenji Urayama, Toshikazu Takigawa +5
Using both experiments and finite element simulations, we explore the shape evolution of off-axis nematic elastomer ribbons as a function of temperature. The elastomers are prepare…
