    Abstract : Soft matter, here, liquids and polymers, have adaptability to a surrounding geometry. They intrinsically have advantageous characteristics from a mechanical perspective, such as flowing and wetting on surrounding surfaces, giving compliant, conformal and deformable behavior.

  4. 2. Jamming and Soft-Core Rheology

    Author : Daniel Vågberg; Peter Olsson; Teitel Stephen; Vitelli Vincenzo; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; jamming; rheology; soft matter; granular material; SLLOD; critical point; critical scaling;

    Abstract : Many different physical systems, such as granular materials, colloids, foams and emulsions exhibit a jamming transition where the system changes from a liquid-like flowing state to a solid jammed state as the packing fraction increases. These systems are often modeled using soft-core particles with repulsive contact forces. READ MORE

  5. 3. Magnetically governed self-assembly of soft matter : A look into interfacial layering, crystallization and percolation

    Author : Apurve Saini; Max Wolff; Vassilios Kapaklis; Pietro Tierno; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self-assembly; Soft matter; Colloids; Magnetic nanoparticles; Ferrofluid; Solid-liquid interface; Neutron reflectometry; Electrical sensing; Microcontact; Materiefysik; Physics of Matter;

    Abstract : Self-organisation is the key route for assembling colloidal particles into well-defined structures. Decisive for this are the interactions between the constituents, which are amongst others steric, electrostatic or magnetic. READ MORE

  6. 4. Small-Scale Sample Handling for Studies of Liquid Crystals and Lipid-Based Soft Matter

    Author : Gabriel Ohlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fluorescence microscopy; nanocell; Microfluidics; aquaporins; liquid crystals; membrane transport; phase transitions; QCM-D; soft matter; lipid bilayer;

    Abstract : In the field of sensing in general and biosensing in particular, there is a growing need for integratingminiaturised senor elements in microfluidic systems. The advantages are several, some of which being that the consumption of, often very expensive, sample material can be reduced; sampleexchange can be optimized; sensor performance in terms of detection limits can be improved and phenomena occurring on a very small, and even single-molecule, scale can be studied.
