Cooperative intramolecular dynamics control the chain-length-dependent glass transition in polymers
Daniel L. Baker, Matthew Reynolds, Robin Masurel +2
The glass transition is a long-standing unsolved problem in materials science. For polymers, our understanding of glass-formation is particularly poor due to the added complexity o…
Mechanics from Calorimetry: A New Probe of Elasticity for Responsive Hydrogels
Frank J. Aangenendt, Johan Mattsson, Wouter G. Ellenbroek +1
Temperature-sensitive hydrogels based on polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) undergo a volume phase transition in response to changes in temperature. During this…
Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy in a Standard Dynamic Light Scattering Setup
Zahra Fahimi, Frank Aangenendt, Panayiotis Voudouris +2
Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) treats the transport of photons through turbid samples as a diffusion process, thereby making it possible to extract the dynamics of scatterers fr…
Dielectric secondary relaxation of water in aqueous binary glass-formers
Johan Sjöström, Johan Mattsson, Rikard Bergman +4
The dielectric relaxation of water in glassy aqueous binary mixtures exhibits an Arrhenius behaviour with a nearly universal activation energy. We here demonstrate that its charact…
Effects of hydrogen bonding on supercooled liquid dynamics and the implications for supercooled water
Johan Mattsson, Rikard Bergman, Per Jacobsson +1
The supercooled state of bulk water is largely hidden by unavoidable crystallization, which creates an experimentally inaccessible temperature regime - a 'no man's land'. We addres…
Strain-Rate Frequency Superposition (SRFS) - A rheological probe of structural relaxation in soft materials
Hans M. Wyss, Kunimasa Miyazaki, Johan Mattsson +3
The rheological properties of soft materials often exhibit surprisingly universal linear and non-linear features. Here we show that these properties can be unified by considering t…
