Hierarchical geometries and adhesion: Bio-inspired designs for stiff interfaces
D. Rayneau-Kirkhope, Y. Mao, C. Rauch
Throughout biology, hierarchy is a recurrent theme in the geometry of structures where strength is achieved with minimal use of material. Acting over vast timescales, evolution has…

Untwisting of a cholesteric elastomer by a mechanical field
M. Warner, E. M. Terentjev, R. B. Meyer +1
A mechanical strain field applied to a monodomain cholesteric elastomer will unwind the helical director distribution. There is an analogy with the classical problem of an electric…

Theory of Chiral Imprinting
Mao, Yong Warner, Mark
We present a continuum model for a nematic elastomer network formed in a chiral environment, for instance in the presence of a chiral solvent. When this environment is removed, the…
