Surface tensiometry of phase separated protein and polymer droplets by the sessile drop method
Mahdiye Ijavi, Robert W. Style, Leonidas Emmanouilidis +7
Phase separated macromolecules play essential roles in many biological and synthetic systems. Physical characterization of these systems can be challenging because of limited sampl…
Switchable Adhesion of Soft Composites Induced by a Magnetic Field
Paolo Testa, Benoît Chappuis, Sabrina Kistler +3
Switchable adhesives have the potential to improve the manufacturing and recycling of parts and to enable new modes of motility for soft robots. Here, we demonstrate magnetically-s…
Elastic ripening and inhibition of liquid-liquid phase separation
Kathryn A. Rosowski, Tianqi Sai, Estefania Vidal-Henriquez +3
Phase separation has recently emerged as an important organizational principle in the dense and heterogeneous environment within living cells. Here, we use a synthetic system to sh…
Extreme cavity expansion in soft solids: damage without fracture
Jin Young Kim, Zezhou Liu, Byung Mook Weon +4
Cavitation is a common damage mechanism in soft solids. Here, we study this using a phase-separation technique in stretched, elastic solids to controllably nucleate and grow small…
Surface Elastic Constants of a Soft Solid
Qin Xu, Robert W. Style, Eric R. Dufresne
Solid interfaces have intrinsic elasticity. However, in most experiments, this is obscured by bulk stresses. Through microscopic observations of the contact-line geometry of a part…
Indentation of a floating elastic sheet: Geometry versus applied tension
Finn Box, Dominic Vella, Robert Style +1
The localized loading of an elastic sheet floating on a liquid bath occurs at scales from a frog sitting on a lily pad to a volcano supported by the Earth's tectonic plates. The lo…
