Analytical structure, dynamics, and coarse-graining of a kinetic model of an active fluid
, 2017 We analyze one of the simplest active suspensions with complex dynamics: a suspension of immotile "Extensor" particles that exert active extensile dipolar stresses on the fluid in which they are immersed. This is relevant to several experimental systems,

From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications
Responsive Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

Dynamics of Ring Disclinations Driven by Active Nematic Shells
Frontiers in Physics, 2019 When dispersed in thermotropic nematic liquid crystal oils, surfactant-ladden aqueous droplets often lead to the formation of a equatorial ring disclination in the nearby nematic matrix as a result of a balance between elasticity and interfacial energy ...

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.This Perspective discusses the potential of stimuli‐responsive liquid crystal polymer bio‐interfaces in modulating cell behavior as next generation dynamic artificial scaffolds. Unlike current artificial biomaterials that have static properties, LCPs offer fast, reversible, and spatially programmable deformation that reflects the dynamic properties of ...

Kinetic Theory of Self-Propelled Particles with Nematic Alignment
EntropyWe present the results from kinetic theory for a system of self-propelled particles with alignment interactions of higher-order symmetry, particularly nematic ones. To this end, we use the Landau equation approach, a systematic approximation to the BBGKY

Small Methods, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the effectiveness of in situ UV−vis coupled with automated data analysis, namely, ATLAS, for fast and reliable identification of multiple thermal transition in conjugated polymer thin films. This ATLAS method will significantly accelerate the understanding of the phase behavior of D‐A polymers with important implications for ...
