Relationship between Rheology and Structure of Interpenetrating, Deforming and Compressing Microgels
Gaurasundar M. Conley, James L. Harden, Frank Scheffold
Thermosensitive microgels are widely studied hybrid systems combining properties of polymers and colloidal particles in a unique way. Due to their complex morphology their interact…
Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Depletion-Induced Interactions for Soft Matter Systems
Tyler N. Shendruk, Martin Bertrand, James L. Harden +2
Given the ubiquity of depletion effects in biological and other soft matter systems, it is desirable to have coarse-grained Molecular Dynamics simulation approaches appropriate for…
Simulating the Entropic Collapse of Coarse-Grained Chromosomes
Tyler N. Shendruk, Martin Bertrand, Hendrick W. de Haan +2
Depletion forces play a role in the compaction and de-compation of chromosomal material in simple cells but it remains debatable whether they are sufficient to account for chromoso…
Brush-like Interactions between Thermoresponsive Microgel Particles
Frank Scheffold, Pedro Diaz-Leyva, Mathias Reufer +3
Using a simplified microstructural picture we show that interactions between thermosenstive microgel particles can be described by a polymer brush like corona decorating the dense…
Slow dynamics, aging, and glassy rheology in soft and living matter
Ranjini Bandyopadhyay, Dennis Liang, James L. Harden +1
We explore the origins of slow dynamics, aging and glassy rheology in soft and living matter. Non-diffusive slow dynamics and aging in materials characterised by crowding of the co…
Budding and Domain Shape Transformations in Mixed Lipid Films and Bilayer Membranes
James L. Harden, Fred C. MacKintosh, Peter D. Olmsted
We study the stability and shapes of domains with spontaneous curvature in fluid films and membranes, embedded in a surrounding membrane with zero spontaneous curvature. These doma…
