Omnidirectionally manipulated skyrmions in an orientationally chiral system
Jiahao Chen, Wentao Tang, Xingzhou Tang +7
Skyrmions, originally from condensed matter physics, have been widely explored in various physical systems, including soft matter. A crucial challenge in manipulating topological s…
Numerical Study of Cleavable Bond-Modified Polyethylene for Circular Polymer Design
Maria Ley-Flores, Archit Chabbi, Riccardo Alessandri +4
There is considerable interest in designing new polymeric materials with built-in mechanisms for recycling. In this work, we present a systematic exploration of several polyethylen…
Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of Binary Mixtures of Polyethylene and Higher n-Alkanes from Physics-Informed and Machine-Learned Models
Maria Ley-Flores, Riccardo Alessandri, Sean Najmi +6
The thermodynamics and transport properties of polymeric materials are essential for the design of reactors and for the development of polymer deconstruction processes. Existing pr…
Synthetic active liquid crystals powered by acoustic waves
Andrey Sokolov, Jaideep Katuri, Juan J. de Pablo +1
Active nematics are materials composed of mobile, elongated particles that can transform energy from the environment into a mechanical motion. Current experimental realizations of…
Light-responsive active particles in a thermotropic liquid crystal
Antonio Tavera-Vázquez, Andrés Córdoba, Sam Rubin +2
The development of synthetic microswimmers has advanced our understanding of the fundamental self-propelled mechanisms of living systems. However, there are scarce studies at the m…
Rheology of bidisperse non-Brownian suspensions
Abhinendra Singh, Christopher Ness, Abhishek K. Sharma +2
We study the rheology of bidisperse non-Brownian suspensions using particle-based simulation, mapping the viscosity as a function of the size ratio of the species, their relative a…
