Multi-scale microrheology using fluctuating filaments as stealth probes [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 158001 (2021), 2020 The mechanical properties of soft materials can be probed on small length scales by various microrheology methods. A common approach tracks fluctuations of micrometer-sized beads embedded in the medium to be characterized. This approach yields results that depend on the probe size when the medium has structure on length scales comparable to or larger ...

Magnetron plasma mediated immobilization of hyaluronic acid for the development of functional double-sided biodegradable vascular graft [PDF]
, 2020 The clinical need for vascular grafts is associated with cardiovascular diseases frequently leading to fatal outcomes. Artificial vessels based on bioresorbable polymers can replace the damaged vascular tissue or create a bypass path for blood flow while stimulating regeneration of a blood vessel in situ.

Structure and dynamics of hyaluronic acid semidilute solutions: a dielectric spectroscopy study [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 82, 011922 (2010), 2009 Dielectric spectroscopy is used to investigate fundamental length scales describing the structure of hyaluronic acid sodium salt (Na-HA) semidilute aqueous solutions. In salt-free regime, the length scale of the relaxation mode detected in MHz range scales with HA concentration as $c_\mathrm{HA}^{-0.5}$ and corresponds to the de Gennes-Pfeuty-Dobrynin ...
