Translational diffusion of a fluorescent tracer molecule in nanoconfined water
Shivprasad Patil, V. J. Ajith
Diffusion of tracer dye molecules in water confined to nanoscale is an important subject with a direct bearing on many technological applications. It is not yet clear however, if t…
Elasticity of single flexible polymer chains in good and poor solvents
Vikhyaat Ahlawat, Shatruhansingh Rajput, Shivprasad Patil
Force versus extension curves measure entropic elasticity of single polymer chain in force spectroscopy experiments. A Worm-like Chain model is used to describe force extension exp…
Validity of point-mass model in off-resonance dynamic atomic force microscopy
Shatruhan Singh Rajput, Surya Pratap S Deopa, V. J. Ajith +2
The quantitative measurement of viscoelasticity of nano-scaleentities is an important goal of nanotechnology research and there is considerable progress with advent of dynamic Atom…
A new method for measurement and quantification of tracer diffusion in nanoconfined liquids
V. J. Ajith, Shivprasad Patil
We report development of a novel instrument to measure tracer diffusion in water under nano-scale confinement. A direct optical access to the confinement region, where water is con…
Elastic response of poly(ethylene glycol) polymer chains studied using dynamic atomic force microscopy
Vikhyaat Ahlawat, Shatruhan Singh Rajput, Shivprasad Patil
Stretching response of polymer chains under external force is crucial in understanding polymer dynamics under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions. Here we measure the elasti…
The effect of boundary slippage and nonlinear rheological response on flow of nanoconfined water
Amandeep Sekhon, Ajith VJ, Shivprasad Patil
The flow of water confined to nanometer-sized pores is central to a wide range of subjects from biology to nanofluidic devices. Despite its importance, a clear picture about nanosc…
A new tuning fork-based instrument for oscillatory shear rheology of nano-confined liquids
Karan Kapoor, Vinod Kanawade, Vibham Shukla +1
We present a new method to measure rheological response of liquids confined to nano-scale which exhibit a considerable slow-down in dynamics compared to bulk liquids. The method re…
Dynamic Solidification in Nanoconfined Water Films
Shah H. Khan, George Matei, Shivprasad Patil +1
The mechanical properties of nanoconfined water layers are still poorly understood and continue to create considerable controversy, despite their importance for biology and nanotec…
Solid or Liquid ? - Kinetically induced phase transition of a confined liquid
Shivprasad Patil, George Matei, Ahmet Oral +1
There has been long-standing debate about the physical state and possible phase transformations of confined liquids. In this report we show that a model confined liquid can behave…
