Polydisperse polymer fractionation between phases
J. Pedro de Souza, William M. Jacobs, Howard A. Stone
Polymer mixtures fractionate between phases depending on their molecular weight. Consequently, by varying solvent conditions, a polydisperse polymer sample can be separated between…
A vertically integrated model with phase change for aquifers in cold firn
Mohammad Afzal Shadab, Howard A. Stone, Reed M. Maxwell
Surface meltwater from glaciers and ice sheets contributes significantly to sea-level rise, yet the processes governing its transport and retention within cold firn remain poorly c…
Polymer-Residue Accessibility Shapes Sequence Dependence of Critical Temperatures for Phase Separation
J. Pedro de Souza, Benjamin Sorkin, Amala Akkiraju +2
Biological polymers, such as intrinsically disordered proteins, play a central role in cellular biology, including mediating phase separation and controlling activity of biological…
Flash Freeze--Thaw Phenomenon in Sprayed Evaporating Micrometer Droplets
Junshi Wang, Zehao Pan, Howard A. Stone +1
Two-fluid spray nozzles are widely used in combustion, chemical processing, pharmaceutical coating, environmental control, and spray drying to atomize liquids with pressurized gas.…
Soft-Lubrication Drainage and Rupture in Particle-Driven Vesicles
Yuan-Nan Young, Bryan Quaife, Herve Nganguia +3
The deformation and rupture of a lipid vesicle due to the forced normal approach of an inclusion are essential for optimizing the design of magnetic giant unilamellar vesicles [mag…
Autophoretic skating along permeable surfaces
Günther Turk, Rajesh Singh, Howard A. Stone
The dynamics of self-propelled colloidal particles are strongly influenced by their environment through hydrodynamic and, in many cases, chemical interactions. We develop a theoret…
