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,…
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…
