Universal behavior of hydrogels confined to narrow capillaries
Flow of soft matter objects through one-dimensional environments is important in industrial, biological and biomedical systems. Establishing the underlying principles of the behavior of soft matter in confinement can shed light on its performance in many man-made and biological systems. Here, we report an experimental and theoretical study of translocation of micrometer-size hydrogels (microgel...
متن کاملConfined compression of collagen hydrogels.
Reconstituted collagen hydrogels are often used for in vitro studies of cell-matrix interaction and as scaffolds for tissue engineering. Understanding the mechanical and transport behaviours of collagen hydrogels is therefore extremely important, albeit difficult due to their very high water content (typically >99.5%). In the present study the mechanical behaviour of collagen hydrogels in confi...
متن کاملMathematical Analysis of MHD Flow of Blood in Very Narrow Capillaries (RESEARCH NOTE)
A mathematical model for blood flow in narrow capillaries under the effect of transverse magnetic field has been investigated. It is assumed that there is a lubricating layer between red blood cells and tube wall. The transient flow of the fit red blood cell surrounded by plasma annulus in the narrow capillary is considered. The analysis of fluid flow between red cell and tube wall, when the ce...
متن کاملA Biomechanical Approach for the Study of Deformation of Red Cells in Narrow Capillaries
This model focuses on the behavior of capillary-tissue fluid exchange system when the diameter of the capillary is less than that of red cell. In vivo and in vitro observations indicate that the width of the gap between the red cell and the vessel wall is generally small compared to the radius of the capillary for a single file flow of red cell in narrow vessel, particularly if the vessel diame...
متن کاملSurfactant bilayer coatings in narrow-bore capillaries in capillary electrophoresis.
The cationic surfactants didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) and dioctadecyldimethyl-ammonium bromide (DODAB) have previously been shown to form semi-permanent coatings that effectively prevent adsorption of cationic proteins in fused silica capillaries with inner diameters of 25-75 µm. This paper investigates the impact that narrower capillary diameters (≤25 µm) have on the stability of s...
