Rheology of reconstituted silk fibroin protein gels: the epitome of extreme mechanics.
In nature, silk fibroin proteins assemble into hierarchical structures with dramatic mechanical properties. With the hope of creating new classes of on demand silk-based biomaterials, Bombyx mori silk is reconstituted back into stable aqueous solutions that can be reassembled into functionalized materials; one strategy for reassembly is electrogelation. Electrogels (e-gels) are particularly ver...
متن کاملExtreme strain localization and sliding friction in physically associating polymer gels.
Model physically associating gels deformed in shear over a wide range of reduced rates displayed evidence of strain localization. The nonlinear stress responses and inhomogeneous velocity profiles observed during shear rheometry coupled with particle tracking velocimetry were associated with the occurrence of rate-dependent banding and fracture-like responses in the gel. Scaling law analysis fr...
متن کاملElectroresponsive Acrylic Gels
This articles is comprised of two parts: a) an experimental investigation on the behavior of an acrylic gel under DC electric field and b) a physico - mathematical description.a) Gel rods made of poly [acrylamide-co-bisacrylamide] were partially hydrolyzed to different extents at pH 12 by teteramethylethylene diamine. Equlibrium properties of the resulting gels rods (water content,...
متن کاملThermoresponsive Gels
Thermoresponsive gelling materials constructed from natural and synthetic polymers can be used to provide triggered action and therefore customised products such as drug delivery and regenerative medicine types as well as for other industries. Some materials give Arrhenius-type viscosity changes based on coil to globule transitions. Others produce more counterintuitive responses to temperature ...
متن کاملActin gels
Solutions and gels of the filamentous protein F-actin have not only been the subject of numerous recent biophysical studies, but have also proven to be quite fruitful model systems for fundamental polymer science. They are particularly good models of ‘semiflexible’ polymers, because they have an enormous ratio of persistence length to molecular diameter with characteristic mesh sizes of the ord...
