Orthogonal Superposition Rheometry of soft core-shell microgels

Panagiota Bogri, Gabriele Pagani, Jan Vermant +2

The mechanisms of flow in suspensions of soft particles above the glass-transition volume fraction and in the jammed state were probed using Orthogonal Superposition Rheometry (OSR…

Ionic glass formers show an inverted relation between fragility and relaxation broadness

Sophie G. M. van Lange, Diane W. te Brake, Eline F. Brink +7

Supercooled liquids undergo a rapid change in dynamics as they are cooled to their glass transition temperature and turn from a flowing liquid into an amorphous solid. Depending on…

Infrasonic wave propagation in ultrasoft solids at low Reynolds numbers

Jan Maarten van Doorn, Ruben Higler, Ronald Wegh +4

The propagation of elastic waves in soft materials plays a crucial role in the spatio-temporal transmission of mechanical signals, e.g. in biological mechanotransduction or in the…

Rapid and unambiguous determination of the open time for waterborne paint films with Laser Speckle Imaging

Slav A. Semerdzhiev, Hanne M. van der Kooij, Remco Fokkink +1

In drying coatings, the time span between the deposition of the wet film and the formation of an uniform solid harbors a procession of complex phenomena each of which carves the fi…

Buckling of self-assembled colloidal structures

Simon Stuij, Jan Maarten van Doorn, Thomas Kodger +3

Although buckling is a prime route to achieve functionalization and synthesis of single colloids, buckling of colloidal structures---made up of multiple colloids---remains poorly s…

Strand plasticity governs fatigue in colloidal gels

Jan Maarten van Doorn, Joanne E. Verweij, Joris Sprakel +1

Repeated loading of a solid leads to microstructural damage that ultimately results in catastrophic material failure. While posing a major threat to the stability of virtually all…

Direct Observation of Entropic Stabilization of bcc Crystals Near Melting

Joris Sprakel, Alessio Zaccone, Frans Spaepen +2

Crystals with low latent heat are predicted to melt from an entropically stabilized body-centered cubic symmetry. At this weakly first-order transition, strongly correlated fluctua…

Connectivity dynamics in the vitrification of colloidal liquids

Ruben Higler, Johannes Krausser, Jasper van der Gucht +2

While various structural and dynamical precursors to vitrification have been identified, a predictive and quantitative description of how subtle changes at the microscopic scale gi…

Linking particle dynamics to local connectivity in colloidal gels

Jan Maarten van Doorn, Jochem Bronkhorst, Ruben Higler +2

Colloidal gels are a prototypical example of a heterogeneous network solid whose complex properties are governed by thermally-activated dynamics. In this Letter we experimentally e…

Anomalous dynamics of interstitial dopants in soft crystals

Justin Tauber, Ruben Higler, Joris Sprakel

The dynamics of interstitial dopants governs the properties of a wide variety of doped crystalline materials. To describe the hopping dynamics of such interstitial impurities, clas…

Criticality and mechanical enhancement in composite fibre networks

Jan Maarten van Doorn, Luuk Lageschaar, Joris Sprakel +1

Many biological materials consist of sparse networks of disordered fibres, embedded in a soft elastic matrix. The interplay between rigid and soft elements in such composite networ…
