Impact of the Microstructure of Polymer Drag Reducer on Slick-Water Fracturing
Geofluids, 2017 Many studies have focused on the drag reduction performance of slick-water, but the microdrag reduction mechanism remains unclear since the microstructure of the drag reducer and its effect on this mechanism have not been well studied. In this study, the

Viscoelasticity of granular materials
Mechanics of Materials, 1995 Abstract In a former work (V.T. Granik and M. Ferrari (1993), Microstructural mechanics of granular media, Mech. Mater. 15, 301–322) a micromechanical theory for elastic granular media was deduced on the basis of the identification of the constituent grains with the nodes of a Bravais lattice.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights recent advances in engineering artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs) as alternatives to dendritic cells for T cell expansion. Key design principles inspired by the immunological synapse are discussed, with emphasis on strategies for polyclonal and antigen‐specific T cell expansion.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The PDEM‐based SIGPE provides a dynamic nanophase from Li+‐bridged molecular self‐association, enhancing electrochemical stability and facilitating uniform Li+ ion flux at the interface. This unique solvation structure results in a hetero species‐driven inorganic‐rich SEI and long‐term cycle stability, suggesting that a PFAS‐free Li+‐containing monomer

Singular viscoelastic perturbation to soft lubrication
Physical Review ResearchSoft lubrication has been shown to drastically affect the mobility of an object immersed in a viscous fluid in the vicinity of a purely elastic wall. In this theoretical article, we develop a minimal model incorporating viscoelasticity, carrying out a ...

The metric description of viscoelasticity and instabilities in viscoelastic solids
, 2018 Many manmade and naturally occurring materials form viscoelastic solids. The increasing use of biologically inspired elastomeric material and the extreme mechanical response these elastomers offer drive the need for a better, more intuitive and quantitative understanding of the mechanical response of such continua.

Viscoelasticity of ECM and cells—origin, measurement and correlation
Mechanobiology in MedicineThe extracellular matrix (ECM) and cells are crucial components of natural tissue microenvironments, and they both demonstrate dynamic mechanical properties, particularly viscoelastic behaviors, when exposed to external stress or strain over time.
