Ultrasoft microgels displaying emergent platelet-like behaviours.
Efforts to create platelet-like structures for the augmentation of haemostasis have focused solely on recapitulating aspects of platelet adhesion; more complex platelet behaviours such as clot contraction are assumed to be inaccessible to synthetic systems. Here, we report the creation of fully synthetic platelet-like particles (PLPs) that augment clotting in vitro under physiological flow cond...

Efforts to create platelet-like structures for the augmentation of hemostasis have focused solely on recapitulating aspects of platelet adhesion 1; more complex platelet behaviors such as clot contraction 2 are assumed to be inaccessible to synthetic systems. Here, we report the creation of fully synthetic platelet-like particles (PLPs) that augment clotting in vitro under physiological flow co...
متن کاملUltrasoft, highly deformable microgels.
Microgels are colloidally stable, hydrogel microparticles that have previously been used in a range of (soft) material applications due to their tunable mechanical and chemical properties. Most commonly, thermo and pH-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgels can be fabricated by precipitation polymerization in the presence of the co-monomer acrylic acid (AAc). Traditionally pNI...
متن کاملIonic microgels as model systems for colloids with an ultrasoft electrosteric repulsion: structure and thermodynamics.
We present a theoretical analysis of the structural properties and phase behavior of spherical, loosely cross-linked ionic microgels that possess a low monomer concentration. The analysis is based on the recently derived effective interaction potential between such particles [A. R. Denton, Phys. Rev. E 67, 011804 (2003)]. By employing standard tools from the theory of the liquid state, we quant...
متن کاملEmergent Behaviours At The Edge of Chaos
Emergent behaviours are a welcome feature in a robot that is expected to work in the real world. However they are too often the result of careful engineering, thus lacking a “true emergent” component. Here we explore the emergence of behaviours in a chaos driven robot. A random recurrent neural network drives the activation of several behaviours. Attractors in the network are created by using a...
