Cavitation in soft matter. [PDF]

open access: bronzeProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020
Cavitation is the sudden, unstable expansion of a void or bubble within a liquid or solid subjected to a negative hydrostatic stress. Cavitation rheology is a field emerging from the development of a suite of materials characterization, damage quantification, and therapeutic techniques that exploit the physical principles of cavitation.

Soft matter roadmap*

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Materials, 2023
AbstractSoft materials are usually defined as materials made of mesoscopic entities, often self-organised, sensitive to thermal fluctuations and to weak perturbations. Archetypal examples are colloids, polymers, amphiphiles, liquid crystals, foams. The importance of soft materials in everyday commodity products, as well as in technological applications,

Spontaneous electric-polarization topology in confined ferroelectric nematics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Though magnetic and electric states are closely related, many magnetic states cannot find their electric counterparts. Here, the authors report electric variants of merons in thin films of the emerging liquid-matter state, i.e., ferroelectric nematic.

Time-dependent mechanical behavior of tough hydrogels under multiaxial stretching

open access: yesInternational Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2023
Understanding the time-dependent mechanical behavior of tough and viscoelastic hydrogels under complex external loading is crucial. In this study, we utilized tough and viscoelastic hydrogels synthesized through the copolymerization of methacrylic acid ...

Effect of adhesive interaction on strain stiffening and dissipation in granular gels undergoing yielding

open access: yesCommunications Physics, 2022
Non-linearity and energy dissipation in athermal disordered solids undergoing strain-induced yielding and fluidization remain poorly understood. Here, the authors use oscillatory shear rheology, in-situ imaging, and particle settling experiments to study

High performance recycled CFRP composites based on reused carbon fabrics through sustainable mild solvolysis route

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
A novel environmentally friendly recycling method is developed for large carbon-fibers reinforced-polymers composite panels whose efficiency is demonstrated through a proof-of-concept fabrication of a new composite part based on recycled fibers.
