In plane guided modes in soft strips

open access: yes, 2020
International audienceIn-plane guided modes propagating in thin soft rectangular waveguides are investigated. These modes result from the coupling between the shear horizontal mode of velocity <latex>v_T</latex> and the plate mode of velocity

Self‐Cleaning Sensor Surfaces for Long‐Term Environmental Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Long‐term use of unattended outdoor sensors without soiling or biofouling is achieved through generation of a micro‐ and nanorough cuvette surface by combing hydrophobic nanoparticles with fluorinated polymers, crosslinked and surface‐attached through CHic chemistry. The coating demonstrates self‐cleaning behavior and prolonged outdoor stability, which

Dissipative Soft Modes in Viscous Nematodynamics

open access: yes, 2005
The paper analyses a possible occurrence of soft and semi-soft viscous modes in slow (low Reynolds number) flows of uniaxially anisotropic nematic liquids as described by the five parametric Leslie-Ericksen-Parodi (LEP) constitutive equations (CEs).

Discrepancies Between Micro Versus Macroscale Viscoelastic Properties in a Microplastic‐Tissue Composite Model

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the discrepancies between bulk mechanics and spatial mapping in a tissue‐mimetic hydrogel model. Microplastic particles create localized stiff mechanical microenvironments that are detectable by cellular‐scale nanoindentation but leave bulk properties unchanged as measured by rheology.

Soft power: Power of attraction or confusion? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Despite its popularity soft power remains power of confusion. The paper examines the concept, with a special focus on the nature and sources of soft power.

Exploring the unfolding pathways of protein families using Elastic Network Model

open access: yesScientific Reports
We explore how a protein’s native structure determines its unfolding process. We examine how the local structural features, like shear, and the global structural properties, like the number of soft modes, change during unfolding.

Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...

Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.
