IceCAPA: patterning particles and microorganisms at a freezing front
Isabelle M. Feller, Jakob Paulsen, Muriel Scherer +2
The ability to precisely pattern micro- and nano-scale objects on surfaces is important for a range of different applications. For example, colloidal patterning has been used to cr…
Hydrogel mechanics below swelling equilibrium
A. Chao Correas, Y. Feng, R. W. Style +1
Hydrogels are versatile materials due to their softness and ability to undergo large changes in water content. Their mechanics, however, are complex, being a tight coupling between…
Controlling polymerization-induced phase separation in the synthesis of porous gels
Yanxia Feng, Noel Ringeisen, Eric R. Dufresne +2
Porous gels -- gels with solvent-filled pores that are much larger than their mesh size -- are widely used in engineering and biomedical applications due to their tunable mechanics…
Thermodynamics of microphase separation in a swollen, strain-stiffening polymer network
Carla Fernández-Rico, Robert W. Style, Stefanie Heyden +3
Elastic MicroPhase Separation (EMPS) provides a simple route to create soft materials with homogeneous microstructures by leveraging the supersaturation of crosslinked polymer netw…
Tunable Assembly of Confined Janus Microswimmers in Sub-kHz Electic Fields under Gravity
Carolina van Baalen, Laura Alvarez, Robert Style +1
Active systems comprising micron-sized self-propelling units, also termed microswimmers, are promising candidates for the bottom-up assembly of small structures and reconfigurable…
Sliding or Rolling? Characterizing single-particle contacts
Simon Scherrer, Shivaprakash N. Ramakrishna, Vincent Niggel +4
Contacts between particles in dense, sheared suspensions are believed to underpin much of their rheology. Roughness and adhesion are known to constrain the relative motion of parti…
