Surface Instabilities and Magnetic Soft Matter
We report on the formation of surface instabilities in a layer of thermoreversible ferrogel when exposed to a vertical magnetic field. Both static and time dependent magnetic fields are employed. Under variations of temperature, the viscoelastic properties of our soft magnetic matter can be tuned. Stress relaxation experiments unveil a stretched exponential scaling of the shear modulus, with an...
متن کاملShape-programmable magnetic soft matter.
Shape-programmable matter is a class of active materials whose geometry can be controlled to potentially achieve mechanical functionalities beyond those of traditional machines. Among these materials, magnetically actuated matter is particularly promising for achieving complex time-varying shapes at small scale (overall dimensions smaller than 1 cm). However, previous work can only program thes...
متن کاملSurface instabilities in granular matter and ion-sputtered surfaces
We apply a theoretical approach, originally introduced to describe aeolian ripples formation in sandy deserts, to the study of surface instability in ion sputtered surfaces. The two phenomena are distinct by several orders of magnitudes and by several physical mechanisms, but they obey to similar geometrical constraints and therefore they can be described by means of the same approach. This ope...
متن کاملElectric-Field-Controlled Surface Instabilities in Soft Elastic Films
Understanding morphological instabilities at soft interfaces is important in a variety of diverse problems, such as adhesion/debonding in polymer films and biological cells, friction, cavitation, and patterning. Non-specific interactions of electromagnetic origin play an important role in these instabilities. Spontaneous surface patterns appear in soft solid films that are in contact proximity ...
متن کاملInstabilities in multilayered soft dielectrics
Experimental observations clearly show that the performance of dielectric elastomericbased devices can be considerably improved using composite materials. A critical issue in the development of composite dielectric materials toward applications is the prediction of their failure mechanisms due to the applied electromechanical loads. In this paper we investigate analytically the influence of ele...
