Hierarchical Dynamics and Time-Length Scale Superposition in Glassy Suspensions of Ultra-Low Crosslinked Microgels
A. Martinelli, R. Elancheliyan, A. Scotti +3
We employ small-angle X-ray and dynamic light scattering to investigate the microscopic structure and dynamics of dense suspensions of ultra-low crosslinked (ULC) poly(N-isopropyla…

Probing the Microscopic Origin of Toughness in Multiple Polymer Networks
Nicholas H. P. Orr, Magali Le Goff, Burebi Yiming +6
Multiple polymer networks, such as double-network elastomers comprising a sacrificial and a matrix network, exhibit exceptional mechanical resilience, commonly attributed to the fo…

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…
