Durotaxis in viscoelastic fluids

open access: yesPhysical Review Fluids
Organisms often swim through fluids that are spatially inhomogeneous. If the fluids are polymeric, gradients in polymer concentration may lead to gradients in both fluid viscosity and elasticity. In this letter, we present theoretical results for the dynamics of active particles, biological or otherwise, swimming through spatially inhomogeneous ...

Viscoelastic Properties of Organosilicon Fluid Interlayer at Low-Frequency Shear Deformations

open access: yesFluids
The present work explores the viscoelastic properties of a homologous series of organosilicon fluids (polymethylsiloxane fluids) using the acoustic resonant method at a frequency of shear vibrations of approximately 100 kHz.

Pattern formation in odd viscoelastic fluids

open access: yesPhysical Review Research
Nonreciprocal interactions fueled by local energy consumption can be found in biological and synthetic active matter at scales where viscoelastic forces are important.
