Siloxane molecules: Nonlinear elastic behavior and fracture characteristics
Tianchi Li, Eric R. Dufresne, Martin Kröger +1
Fracture phenomena in soft materials span multiple length- and timescales. This poses a major challenge in computational modeling and predictive materials design. To pass quantitat…
Polycrystallinity enhances stress build-up around ice
Dominic Gerber, Lawrence A. Wilen, Eric R. Dufresne +1
Damage caused by freezing wet, porous materials is a widespread problem, but is hard to predict or control. Here, we show that polycrystallinity makes a great difference to the str…
The generalized Clapeyron equation and its application to confined ice growth
Robert W. Style, Dominic Gerber, Alan W. Rempel +1
Most theoretical descriptions of stresses induced by freezing are rooted in the (generalized) Clapeyron equation, which predicts the pressure that a solid can exert as it cools bel…
ATRP enhances structural correlations in polymerization-induced phase separation
Alba Sicher, Richard Whitfield, Jan Ilavsky +3
Synthetic methods to control the structure of materials at sub-micron scales are typically based on the self-assembly of structural building blocks with precise size and morphology…
Gradients in solid surface tension drive Marangoni-like motions in cell aggregates
Vikrant Yadav, Md. Sulaiman Yousafzai, Sorosh Amiri +3
The surface tension of living cells and tissues originates from the generation of nonequilibrium active stresses within the cell cytoskeleton. Here, using laser ablation, we genera…
Stress accumulation around ice in a temperature gradient
Dominic Gerber, Lawrence A. Wilen, Florian Poydenot +2
When materials freeze, they often undergo damage due to ice growth. Although this damage is commonly ascribed to the volumetric expansion of water upon freezing, it is usually driv…
