, 2014 We consider a dilute system of small hard beads or hard fibers immersed in a very soft gel able to withstand large elastic deformations. Because of its low to very low shear modulus, this system is very sensitive to small forces. We calculate the local deformation induced by a constant volume force, the inclusion weight. We explain how this deformation

Journal 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
Nature 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
International 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 ...

Splay-bend nematic phases of bent colloidal silica rods induced by polydispersity
Nature Communications, 2022 Different shapes of molecules or particles can exhibit various liquid crystal phases. The authors report on an experimental discovery of a so called splay-bend nematic liquid crystal phase in a colloidal system of bent silica rods.
