Softening and yielding of soft glassy materials.
Solids deform and fluids flow, but soft glassy materials, such as emulsions, foams, suspensions, and pastes, exhibit an intricate mix of solid- and liquid-like behavior. While much progress has been made to understand their elastic (small strain) and flow (infinite strain) properties, such understanding is lacking for the softening and yielding phenomena that connect these asymptotic regimes. H...
متن کاملNetwork Topology in Soft Gels: Hardening and Softening Materials.
The structural complexity of soft gels is at the origin of a versatile mechanical response that allows for large deformation, controlled elastic recovery, and toughness in the same material. A limit to exploiting the potential of such materials is the insufficient fundamental understanding of the microstructural origin of the bulk mechanical properties. Here we investigate the role of the netwo...

متن کاملSoftening upon Adsorption in Microporous Materials: A Counterintuitive Mechanical Response.
We demonstrate here that microporous materials can exhibit softening upon adsorption of guest molecules, at low to intermediate pore loading, in parallel to the pore shrinking that is well-known in this regime. This novel and counterintuitive mechanical response was observed through molecular simulations of both model pore systems (such as slit pore) and real metal-organic frameworks. It is con...
متن کاملPolymeric triple-shape materials.
Shape-memory polymers represent a promising class of materials that can move from one shape to another in response to a stimulus such as heat. Thus far, these systems are dual-shape materials. Here, we report a triple-shape polymer able to change from a first shape (A) to a second shape (B) and from there to a third shape (C). Shapes B and C are recalled by subsequent temperature increases. Whe...
