A Coarse-grained Model for Aqueous Two-phase Systems: Application to Ferrofluids
Alberto Scacchi, Carlo Rigoni, Mikko Haataja +2
Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs), that is, phase-separating solutions of water soluble but mutually immiscible molecular species, offer fascinating prospects for selective partiti…
A minimal model for liquid-liquid phase separation and aging of chemically reactive macromolecular mixtures
Ruoyao Zhang, Sheng Mao, Mikko Haataja
Mixtures of several macromolecular species can lead to the formation of higher-order structures that often display non-ideal mixing behavior. In this work, we propose a minimal mod…
Liquid demixing in elastic networks: cavitation, permeation, or size selection?
Pierre Ronceray, Sheng Mao, Andrej Košmrlj +1
Demixing of multicomponent biomolecular systems via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a potentially unifying mechanism governing the formation of several membran…
Phase behavior and morphology of multicomponent liquid mixtures
Sheng Mao, Derek Kuldinow, Mikko P. Haataja +1
Multicomponent systems are ubiquitous in nature and industry. While the physics of few-component liquid mixtures (i.e., binary and ternary ones) is well-understood and routinely ta…
Continuum Elasticity Theory Approach for Spontaneous Bending and Twisting of Ribbons Induced by Mechanical Anisotropy
Zi Chen, Carmel Majidi, David J. Srolovitz +1
Helical ribbons arise in many biological and engineered systems, often driven by anisotropic surface stress, residual strain, and geometric or elastic mismatch between layers of a…
Nonlinear geometric effects in mechanical bistable morphing structures
Zi Chen, Qiaohang Guo, Carmel Majidi +3
Bistable structures associated with non-linear deformation behavior, exemplified by the Venus flytrap and slap bracelet, can switch between different functional shapes upon actuati…
