The fracture of materials can take place below the critical failure condition via slow accumulation internal damage followed by fast crack propagation. While due to subcritical accounts for most structural failures in use, it is theoretically challenging bridge gap between molecular and mechanics, not mention predicting occurrence sudden fracture, lack current nondestructive detection methods with suitable resolution. Here, we investigate elastomers using simultaneously space- time-resolved...
Mucus is a biological gel covering the surface of several tissues and insuring key functions, including as protective barrier against dehydration, pathogens penetration, or gastric acids. functioning requires finely tuned balance between solid-like fluid-like mechanical response, insured by reversible bonds mucins, glycoproteins that form gel. In living organisms, mucus subject to various kinds stresses, e.g. due osmosis, bacterial coughing peristalsis. However, our knowledge effects stress...
We use space-resolved dynamic light scattering in the highly multiple regime (Photon Correlation Imaging Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy, PCI-DWS) to investigate temperature-induced phase transitions polymorphic materials. study paraffin wax as a simple model system and chocolate, prototypical example of fat-based products exhibiting complex, history-dependent transitions. find that microscopic dynamics measured using PCI-DWS show remarkable, non-monotonic behavior upon heating: they transiently...
