Transformational process zone emerging at the tip of a propagating crack
Alexei Boulbitch, Alexander L. Korzhenevskii
Process zone at the tip of a propagating crack engendered by the stress-induced local phase transition of the second order is studied theoretically. We show that the zone can only…

Adhesion Mediated by Competition of Ligand-Receptor Binding Against the Lateral Osmotic Pressure of Mobile Repellers
A. Boulbitch
A model system has been recently developed to study adhesion. It consists of a giant lipid bilayer vesicle with reconstituted lipo-polymers (repellers) as well as with lipo-ligands…
