Programming filamentous network mechanics by compression
Bart E. Vos, Luka C. Liebrand, Mahsa Vahabi +6
Fibrous networks are ideal functional materials since they provide mechanical rigidity at low weight. Such structures are omnipresent in natural biomaterials from cells to tissues,…
Porosity governs normals stresses in polymer gels
Henri C. G. de Cagny, Bart E. Vos, Mahsa Vahabi +5
When sheared, most elastic solids such as metals, rubbers and polymer hydrogels dilate in the direction perpendicular to the shear plane. This well-known behaviour known as the Poy…
Direct visualization of flow-induced conformational transitions of single actin filaments in entangled solutions
Inka Kirchenbuechler, Donald Guu, Nicholas A. Kurniawan +2
While semi-flexible polymers and fibers are an important class of material due to their rich mechanical properties, it remains unclear how these properties relate to the microscopi…
Multi-scale strain-stiffening of semiflexible bundle networks
I. K. Piechocka, K. A. Jansen, C. P. Broedersz +3
Bundles of polymer filaments are responsible for the rich and unique mechanical behaviors of many biomaterials, including cells and extracellular matrices. In fibrin biopolymers, w…
