Viscoelastic polymer dynamics and kinetic models represent a vibrant interdisciplinary field that bridges molecular theory with macroscopic flow behaviour in complex fluids. At its core, the subject ...

The stress–strain behaviors of viscoelastic materials are often simulated using a model composed of various combinations of springs and dampers. With the increase in the number of springs and dampers, ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Liquid droplets of protein and RNA have traits reminiscent of a childhood joy: Silly Putty. That’s according to a study by scientists at the University at Buffalo and Iowa State ...

New model extracts stiffness and fluidity from AFM data in minutes, enabling fast, accurate mechanical characterization of living cells at single-cell resolution.

The search for a technique that can measure local viscoelastic properties with nanoscale or molecular resolution on soft heterogeneous materials such as polymers has been challenging. Now, scientists ...

Soft robots, robot systems made of soft materials, open up new perspectives for medical technology and industry. Jun.-Prof.

Rheometry is the method used to analyze the rheological behavior of a material; with rheology defined as the study of matter when it flows or is deformed. As a result rheology describes forces and ...
