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…
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…
Dynamics of Spontaneous Wrapping of Microparticles by Floppy Lipid Membranes
Hendrik T. Spanke, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo, Daniel Tran +2
Lipid membranes form the barrier between the inside and outside of cells and many of their subcompartments. As such, they bind to a wide variety of nano- and micrometer sized objec…
Enhancing the Refractive Index of Polymers with a Plant-Based Pigment
Mohammad Yasir, Tianqi Sai, Alba Sicher +4
Polymeric materials are prized for their formability, low density, and functional versatility. However, the refractive indices of common polymers fall in a relatively narrow range…
