Dynamics of wire frame glasses in two dimensions
David A. King
The dynamics of wire frame particles in concentrated suspension are studied by means of a 2D model and compared to those of rod-like particles. The wire frames have bent or branche…
Towards New Liquid Crystal Phases of DNA mesogens
Kit Gallagher, Jiaming Yu, David A. King +2
Short, partially complementary, single-stranded (ss)DNA strands can form nanostructures with a wide variety of shapes and mechanical properties. It is well known that semiflexible,…
What Promotes Smectic Order: Applying Mean Field Theory to the Ends
David A. King, Randall D. Kamien
Not every particle that forms a nematic liquid crystal makes a smectic. The particle tip is critical for this behaviour. Ellipsoids do not make a smectic, but sphero-cylinders do.…
Elastic Response of Wire Frame Glasses. II. Three Dimensional Systems
David A. King, Masao Doi, Erika Eiser
We study the elastic response of rigid, wire frame particles in concentrated, glassy suspensions to a step strain by applying the simple, geometric methods developed in part I. The…
Elastic Response of Wire Frame Glasses. I. Two Dimensional Model
David A. King, Masao Doi, Erika Eiser
We study the elastic response of concentrated suspensions of rigid wire frame particles to a step strain. These particles are constructed from infinitely thin, rigid rods of length…
Particle shapes leading to Newtonian dilute suspensions
David A. King, Masao Doi, Erika Eiser
It is well known that suspensions of particles in a viscous fluid can affect the rheology significantly, producing a pronounced non-Newtonian response even in dilute suspension. Ho…
