Decoupling Structure and Elasticity in Colloidal Gels Under Isotropic Compression
M. Milani, E. Cavalletti, V. Ruzzi +6
We exploit the controlled drying of millimeter-sized gel beads to investigate isotropic compression of colloidal fractal gels. Using a custom dynamic light scattering setup, we dem…

Probing microscopic dynamics in a uni-axially strained polymer network
N. H. P. Orr, G. Prevot, T. Phou +1
We present a new apparatus that probes simultaneously the macroscopic mechanical response and the microscopic motion in polymer networks under uni-axial strain. The setup leverages…
