Contact mechanics and friction of soft materials: an apparatus combining multi-axes dynamical actuation/measurement and in situ/in operando visualisation
Matthieu Guibert, Antoine Aymard, Cristobal Oliver +8
The mechanics and friction of contact interfaces involving soft materials like gel, rubber or human skin are of both fundamental and applied interest. Recent insights have been mad…
Mechanical response of a simple DNA nanostar hydrogel: symptoms of disorder and glassy emergence of solidity
Hajar Ajiyel, Anthony J. Genot, Soo Hyeon Kim +4
DNA self-assembly is a well-understood nanotechnology to obtain extremely ordered structures from the nanometer to up to the hundred of microns scale. By contrast, DNA hydrogels re…
Capillary and priming pressures control the penetration of yield-stress fluids through non-wetting 2D meshes
Manon Bourgade, Nicolas Bain, Loïc Vanel +2
Forcing hydrophilic fluids through hydrophobic porous solids is a recurrent industrial challenge. If the penetrating fluid is Newtonian, the imposed pressure has to overcome the ca…
How to steer active colloids up a vertical wall
Adérito Fins Carreira, Adam Wysocki, Christophe Ybert +3
An important challenge in active matter lies in harnessing useful global work from entities that produce work locally, e.g., via self-propulsion. We investigate here the active mat…
Aging or DEAD: origin of the non-monotonic response to weak self-propulsion in active glasses
Natsuda Klongvessa, Christophe Ybert, Cécile Cottin-Bizonne +2
Among amorphous states, glass is defined by relaxation times longer than the observation time. This nonergodic nature makes the understanding of glassy systems an involved topic, w…
Immersed Cantilever Apparatus for Mechanics and Microscopy
Akash Singh, Michio Tateno, Gilles Simon +2
We present here a novel cantilever based apparatus to perform translational stress or strain controlled rheology in very soft solids, and obtain simultaneous confocal imaging of th…
