Abstract:
The cytoskeleton provides eukaryotic cells with mechanical support and helps them to perform their biological functions. It is predominantly composed of a network of semiflexible polar protein filaments. In addition, there are many accessory proteins that bind to these filaments, regulate their assembly, link them to organelles and provide the motors that either move the organelles along the filaments or move the filaments themselves. A natural approach to such a multiple particle system is the study of its collective excitations. I review some recent work on the theoretical description of the emergence of a number of particular collective motile behaviours from the interactions between different elements of the cytoskeleton. In order to do this, close analogies have been made to the study of driven soft condensed matter systems. However, it emerges naturally that a description of these soft active motile systems gives rise to new types of collective phenomena not seen in conventional soft systems. I discuss the implications of these results and perspectives for the future.

Abstract:
Neutron scattering had its origin in 1932, the year that marked the discovery of the neutron by Chadwick, and the first nuclear reactors were successfully operated in Chicago and Oak Ridge, Tenn., in the early 1940s. During its initial stages, neutron scattering was used mainly for the study of “hard” crystalline materials. For example, Shull and Wollan's pioneering research, which led to the 1994 Nobel Prize in physics, began with studies of iron, chromium, and iridium, and was followed by the development of polarization analysis to determine the structure of magnetic materials. Such studies continue to yield important structural information (see the articles on magnetism by Aeppli and Hayden and on crystallography by Radaelli and Jorgensen in this issue of MRS Bulletin), although during the last two decades, the technique has been increasingly used by scientists from other disciplines (chemistry, biology, polymer science), and many of these newer applications have involved “soft” matter such as polymers, colloids, and gels. By definition, these substances are “plastic” or “squishy,” and easy to mold into different shapes; because of this flexibility, they have become some of the most practical and widely used materials today.

Abstract:
To obtain high ambient ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolyte (SPE), we introduce polymer-in-salt system with ion hopping mechanism contrary to traditional salt-in-polymer system with segmental motion mechanism. In polymer-in-salt system, the interaction between polymer and salt is important because polymer-in-salt electrolyte contains a large amount of salt. Thus, we try to solve the origin of interaction between polymer and salt by using hard/soft acid base (HSAB) principle. The SPEs are made up of two types of polymers (poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, hard base) and poly(ethylene imine) (PEI, softer base than PEO)) and four types of salts ( LiCF 3 SO 3 (hard cation/hard anion), LiCl (hard cation/soft anion), AgCF 3 SO 3 (soft cation/hard anion), and AgCl (soft cation/soft anion)) according to HSAB principle. In salt-in-polymer system, ionic conductivities of SPEs were affected by HSAB principle but in polymer-in-salt system, they were influenced by the ion hopping property of salt rather than the solubility of polymer for salt according to HSAB principle. The highest ionic conductivities of PEO-based and PEI-based SPEs were 5.13 × 10-4Scm-1 and 7.32 × 10-4Scm-1 in polymer-in-salt system, respectively.

The fundamental aspects of the wettability and the elasticity of soft matters, particularly, functional polymer solutions, lipid membranes, and biological cells in the development of new technologies are overviewed from the basic principles and underlying physics. The key concept is how to control interfacial interactions between solid substrates and soft matters through surface modification. Two representative examples are demonstrated to discuss the underlying physics behind the pattern and domain formation; one of them is multi-dimensional generation of heterogeneous organic arrays and the other is micro-patterning of red blood cells on lipid membranes

Abstract:
Recent years have seen remarkable progress in our understanding of physical aging in nondisordered systems with slow, i.e. glassy-like dynamics. In many systems a single dynamical length L(t), that grows as a power-law of time t or, in much more complicated cases, as a logarithmic function of t, governs the dynamics out of equilibrium. In the aging or dynamical scaling regime, these systems are best characterized by two-times quantities, like dynamical correlation and response functions, that transform in a specific way under a dynamical scale transformation. The resulting dynamical scaling functions and the associated non-equilibrium exponents are often found to be universal and to depend only on some global features of the system under investigation. We discuss three different types of systems with simple and complex aging properties, namely reaction diffusion systems with a power growth law, driven diffusive systems with a logarithmic growth law, and a non-equilibrium polymer network that is supposed to capture important properties of the cytoskeleton of living cells. For the reaction diffusion systems, our study focuses on systems with reversible reaction diffusion and we study two-times functions in systems with power law growth. For the driven diffusive systems, we focus on the ABC model and a related domain model and measure two- times quantities in systems undergoing logarithmic growth. For the polymer network model, we explain in some detail its relationship with the cytoskeleton, an organelle that is responsible for the shape and locomotion of cells. Our study of this system sheds new light on the non- equilibrium relaxation properties of the cytoskeleton by investigating through a power law growth of a coarse grained length in our system.

Full text
Abstract:
De nombreuses études théoriques et expérimentales ont été menées au cours des 30 dernières années afin d'établir le lien entre les propriétés d'interaction des protéines, leurs transitions de phase et leur auto-assemblage. Des avancées significatives ont ainsi été permises grâce à l'application de concepts et méthodes de la physique des polymères et des colloïdes. Ces études ont, pour la majeure partie d'entre elles, été limitées à des protéines d'intérêt médical et à des protéines animales. Ce travail de thèse vise à appliquer ce type d'approche aux protéines végétales afin de mieux comprendre leurs propriétés d'interaction à l'origine de leurs propriétés fonctionnelles au sein des grains et dans les matrices alimentaires. Ce travail a été mené sur un isolat de protéines de réserve du blé composé principalement de la fraction monomérique: les gliadines. Nous avons étudié les transitions de phase des gliadines afin de mieux comprendre leurs propriétés d'interaction d'une part et les structures associées d'autre part. Dans un premier temps, une procédure d'extraction a été développée afin de travailler sur un isolat de composition contrôlée dont les masses moléculaires sont comprises entre 20 kDa et 300 kDa. Le comportement de phase de cet isolat a ensuite été étudié en diminuant la qualité du solvant. Nous avons ainsi déterminé le diagramme de phases (T-Φ), où T est la température et Φv la fraction volumique des gliadines. Cette étude a mis en évidence une séparation de phase de type liquide-liquide dans le système par diminution de la température. Une analyse détaillée de la répartition des protéines au sein des deux phases en fonction de leur masse moléculaire a permis d'identifier une masse moléculaire critique séparant des protéines de comportement de type colloïdal et des protéines de comportement de type polymérique. A partir du diagramme de phase, deux études structurales ont été effectuées. La première a étudié les cinétiques de séparation de phase lors de la diminution de la température pour caractériser la dynamique locale de séparation de phase et identifier les mécanismes qui génèrent les systèmes concentrés. Deux grands types de mécanismes de séparation de phase ont été identifiés : nucléation-croissance et décomposition spinodale. La seconde étude structurale a consisté à établir l'équation d'état pression osmotique vs concentration dans des conditions de bon solvant et à caractériser la structure des dispersions de protéines associée. La relation pression osmotique vs fraction volumique a permis de mettre en évidence l'existence de plusieurs régimes de structuration, associés à des changements de structure secondaire et de propriété rhéologique. La discussion générale permet de mettre en relation les propriétés thermodynamiques déduites de cette approche expérimentale et les changements structuraux observés à différentes échelles
A substantial body of theoretical and experimental studies has been conducted over the last 30 years to establish the link between protein interaction properties, phase transitions and self-assembly. Both colloidal and polymer physics provide a new framework for understanding the driving force for proteins phase behaviour. Such studies have been limited to health-related proteins and to a few food proteins, mainly animal proteins such as casein, whey proteins. This thesis aims to apply this approach to plant proteins to better understand their interactions properties, at the basis of their functional properties within grains and food matrices. This work was carried out on a wheat storage protein isolate mainly composed of the monomeric fraction: gliadins.The objective of this PhD thesis is to investigate the phase transitions of wheat proteins to develop our knowledge on their interaction properties and the associated structures. We organized our experimental approach in five steps. First, we developed an extraction procedure to work on a protein isolate of controlled composition with molecular weight ranging from 20 to 300 kg mol-1. Then, we investigated the phase behaviour of the protein isolate by decreasing the solvent quality, here the temperature. We determined the T-Φ phase diagram, where T is the temperature and Φv the protein volume fraction, that maps the phase and structural transitions of the proteins. This study showed the existence of a liquid-liquid phase separation in the system upon a temperature decrease. We evidenced two different behaviours among proteins as a function of their MWs and highlighted a critical protein size above which the molecular weight is the key determinant of the protein properties. From the phase diagram, two structural studies were conducted. The first one studied the kinetics of phase separation upon temperature decrease to characterize the local dynamics of phase separation and to identify the mechanisms that generate concentrated systems. Two main mechanisms of phase separation have been identified: nucleation-growth and spinodal decomposition. The second one studied the effect of protein concentration on the multi-scale structure of wheat gliadins in good solvent. The integration of all these results allowed us to build the phase diagram of wheat gliadins, integrating thermodynamic and structural data

Abstract:
Nous avons étudié la friction de SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) fondu sur des surfaces de faible rugosité portant des chaines ancrées de SBR, par mesures simultanées de la vitesse locale à la paroi (techniques de vélocimétrie laser par photolyse, mises au point au laboratoire pour des écoulements Couette-plan) et de la contrainte transmise. Le SBR est très enchevêtré par rapport aux études précédentes : ceci entraîne que les taux de cisaillement accessibles dans la fenêtre expérimentale peuvent être supérieurs à l'inverse du temps de reptation des chaines. Afin d'obtenir des surfaces avec des chaines de longueur et de densité contrôlées, nous avons d'abord utilisé des SBR fonctionnalisés monochlorosilane. Cette voie n'a pas abouti en raison d'impuretés résiduelles de synthèse créant des défauts dans les couches. Nous avons alors adsorbé des copolymères diblocs SBR-PDMS dont le bloc PDMS court s'adsorbe plus fortement a la surface que le bloc SBR. Dans toutes les expériences de friction sur des surfaces portant des chaines de SBR, nous avons observé le passage progressif d'un régime de glissement faible vers un régime de glissement fort en fonction du taux de cisaillement. Nous avons observé de manière quasi systématique un blocage de la contrainte sur une large gamme de vitesses de glissement, d'où une friction non linéaire, correspondant à la plage des vitesses de la transition faible -- fort glissement. La comparaison avec les modèles de Brochard-de Gennes ou d'Ajdari et al. reste qualitative compte tenu du nombre restreint de couches contrôlées, mais ces transitions de glissement et le blocage de contrainte correspondent bien an mécanisme d'étirement progressif et d'extraction des chaines ancrées en surface.

Abstract:
En dépit de leur importance pratique considérable, et bien que de nombreuses expériences établissent une corrélation certaine entre les hétérogénéités d'interaction de surface (rugosité ou inhomogénéités chimiques) et les propriétés de friction des surfaces, le rôle de ces interactions sur la friction n'est encore pas bien décrit par les modèles et les expériences existants. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés à l'identification des mécanismes moléculaires de la friction aux interfaces polymères souples. Dans ce contexte, nous avons réalisé deux études complémentaires. La première partie du travail concerne le mouvement d'une ligne triple solide-liquide-vapeur qui se déplace sur une surface solide sous l'effet de différentes forces (gravité, forces capillaires et tensions interfaciales), et en particulier le lien entre le piégeage et le dépiégeage de la ligne triple et l'hystérèse de l'angle de contact. Cette méthode permet de mesurer des angles de contact d'avancée et de reculée avec une précision sans précédent (0,1°)et s'avère être particulièrement sensible aux mécanismes qui tendent à ancrer la ligne triple. Ceci en fait un outil de choix pour étudier la friction liquide/solide. Dans la seconde partie du travail, nous avons cherché à comprendre comment des chaînes de polymère flexibles, fortement ancrées sur une surface solide, dans le régime des fortes densités de greffage affectent la friction entre une telle surface et un élastomère réticulé constitué du même polymère. Nous avons montré que le comportement en friction de cette couche confinée suit exactement le comportement rhéofluidifiant observé pour des couches de fondu de masses molaires équivalentes mais avec un temps de relaxation beaucoup plus long que celui des chaînes en fondu,la reptation n'étant pas permise pour les chaînes ancrées. Enfin, en comparant les résultats obtenus pour des couches greffées chimiquement à une extrémité et des couches fortement adsorbées, ayant par ailleurs les mêmes caractéristiques moléculaires (masse molaire des chaînes et épaisseur de la couche ancrée), nous avons mis en évidence que la friction est remarquablement sensible à l'organisation moléculaire au sein de la couche ancrée.

Full text
Abstract:
Le confinement nanométrique permet d'obtenir la frustration des fluctuations et/ou des transitions de phases spontanées qu'un fluide moléculaire présente en volume (i.e. en " bulk "). Le confinement au sein de matrices poreuses est donc une voie usuelle de stabilisation de phases métastables. Nous détaillons ici les propriétés structurales, dynamiques et thermodynamiques de deux systèmes moléculaires confinés : dans un premier chapitre, nous nous intéressons au cas de l'eau puis, dans un deuxième chapitre, nous traitons le cas spécifique d'un polymère semi-cristallin. Le confinement permet d'abaisser considérablement le point de fusion du fluide confiné. Cette propriété a été récemment mise à profit dans la cadre de nombreux travaux visant à tester l'existence d'un hypothétique point critique à basse température dans l'eau volumique à 228 K and 100 MPa. Dans cette contribution, nous mettons en évidence des propriétés dynamiques surprenantes de l'eau interfaciale à basse température (de 100 à 300 K). Nous proposons un modèle de percolation décrivant les transitions dynamiques et thermodynamiques que nous observons à 150, 220 et 240 K. Nous proposons une description cohérente de cette eau à deux dimensions et de ses propriétés. Nous invoquons le rôle dominant des interactions de surface pour remettre en cause la pertinence de l'utilisation de l'eau confinée pour prouver l'existence d'un point critique à basse température dans l'eau volumique. Cette étude met cependant en évidence l'existence d'une transition liquide-liquide (l'une des conditions pour observer un point critique) impliquant des molécules d'eau. Récemment, un " effet corset " a été proposé : le confinement induirait une réduction d'un ordre de grandeur du diamètre du tube de reptation d'un polymère (quelques nanomètres en volume contre quelques angströms sous confinement). Dans le second chapitre, nous utilisons une approche par diffusion de neutrons pour accéder à une description multi-échelles de la dynamique d'un polymère (en volume puis sous confinement) de l'échelle atomique à temps court (picosecondes) jusqu'à une dizaine de nanomètres, à temps long (600 nanosecondes). Cette étude détaillée de la dépendance spatiale de la relaxation temporelle des chaînes de polymère ne permet pas de mettre en évidence d'"effet corset ". De façon générale, lorsque l'on cherche à tirer profit du confinement nanométrique pour obtenir des "effets de volume", en plus d'"effets de surface" parasites décrits dans le premier chapitre, on est également confronté à une perte significative d'information induite par la moyenne spatiale des observables spectroscopiques. Nous décrivons dans le deuxième chapitre comment utiliser des matrices de confinement orientées macroscopiquement pour s'affranchir de ces effets indésirables et/ou limitants. Dans le troisième et dernier chapitre, nous définissons un système de confinement nanométrique qui permet d'associer i) une orientation macroscopique des pores et ii) une absence totale d'interactions de surface. Un tel système permet d'envisager des effets de volume unidimensionnels très significatifs et ayant une portée sur des distances macroscopiques. Nous discutons pourquoi de tels " tuyaux nanométriques" peuvent potentiellement intéresser à la fois la recherche fondamentale et l'industrie.

Abstract:
Tom McLeash (2005), Professor of Natural Philosophy, says that “in science nothing stays the same. This is true not only at the level of discoveries, experiments, and theories, but also for the coherent structures and disciplines of the scientific community itself. A fascinating recent example has been the emergence of the field of ‘soft matter’ from a recognition that problems in polymer science, colloid science, liquid crystals, surfactant systems, foams, and even biological materials must draw on the same experimental and theoretical tools to make progress.” In this paper, we aim to highlight the concept of soft (condensed) matter physics and its association with industrial food science and (bio)technology within the scope of a new term “food physics”.

Abstract:
Abstract Two-terminal adaptive materials and circuit elements that mimic the signal processing, learning, and computing capabilities of biological synapses are essential for next-generation computing systems. To this end, we have recently developed resistive (ion channel) and capacitive (lipid bilayer) memory elements that mimic the composition, structure, and plasticity of biological synapses. Unlike solid-state counterparts, these biomolecular systems are low-power, analog, less noisy, biocompatible, and capable of exhibiting multiple timescales of short-term synaptic plasticity. However, lipid membranes lack structural stability and modularity necessary for a long-lasting adaptive material system. To address this issue, we propose the replacement of phospholipids with amphiphilic polymers to create artificial membranes, which have been demonstrated to be more durable than phospholipids. With the focus on memory capacitors, we demonstrate that polymeric bilayers can exhibit pinched hysteresis in the Q-v plane because of voltage-induced geometrical changes. Further, we demonstrate that the memcapacitive response is altered based on the surrounding oil medium; smaller oil molecules are retained at higher volume in the membrane, so that thicker bilayers have lower nominal capacitance but can vary this value by over 400%. Finally, we present a physics-based model that enables us to predict the device’s areal voltage-dependent response. Polymeric bilayers represent a significant enhancement in the field of soft-matter, geometrically-reconfigurable memcapacitors, and their highly customizable compositions will allow for a finely tuned electrical response that has a future in brain-inspired materials and circuits.

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, we examine the development of tailored 3D-structured (engineered) polymer-metal interfaces to create enhanced ionic polymer-metal composite (eIPMC) sensors towards soft, self-powered, high sensitivity strain sensor applications. First, a physics-based chemoelectromechanical model is developed to predict the sensor behavior of eIPMCs by incorporating structure microfeature effects in the mechanical response of the material. The model incorporates electrode surface properties, such as microscale feature thickness, size and spacing, to help define the mechanical response and transport characteristics of the polymer-electrode interface. Second, two novel approaches are described to create functional samples of eIPMC sensors using fused deposition manufacturing and inkjet printing technologies. Sample eIPMC sensors are fabricated for experimental characterization. Finally, experimental results are provided to show superior performance in the sensing capabilities compared to traditional sensors fabricated from sheet-form material. The results also validate important predictive aspects of the proposed minimal model.

Abstract:
Abstract Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gels are a promising material for soft robotic actuators due to their fast response rates and remarkable deformation characteristics. A variety of different actuator types can be made with PVC gels because their deformation via anodophilic creep is highly customizable by alteration of the electrode configuration, applied electric field, surface microstructure, and plasticizer content. This level of customization is not typically possible with other electroactive polymer actuators. Several attempts have been made to model PVC gel anodophilic creep actuation. Most of these have been limited in scope to particular actuator types and are phenomenological models. An accurate predictive model is necessary for the implementation and control of these actuators in the field of soft robotics, and this can be better achieved through the use of a physics-based electromechanical model. In this paper the underlying mechanisms for PVC gel actuation are discussed, and simulation results are shown. We present our finite element model which seeks to move towards a more general model for PVC gels derived from first principles. This electromechanical model is based on the Maxwell stress that is developed within the PVC gel along the anode when an electric field is applied. COMSOL Multiphysics modeling software is utilized for the simulation of PVC gel deformation when exposed to an electric potential. In addition, an experimental study of PVC gels was conducted to verify the model for mesh-type contraction actuators, and the simulated results provide context and support for the underlying mechanisms discussed.

Abstract:
It is of interest to exploit the insight from the lateral line system of fish for flow sensing applications. The lateral line consists of arrays of flow sensors, known as neuromasts, with hair cells encased within a gel-like structure called cupula. There are two types of neuromasts, superficial neuromasts, which reside on the surface, and canal neuromasts, which are recessed within a channel with its ends open at the body’s surface. In this work we investigate the modeling of a canal-type artificial lateral line system. The canal is filled with viscous fluid to emulate its biological counterpart. The artificial neuromast consists of an ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) sensor embedded within a soft molded cupula structure. The displacement of the cupula structure and the resulting short-circuit current of the IPMC sensor under an oscillatory flow are modeled and solved with finite-element methods. The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model is used to describe the fundamental physics within the IPMC, where the bending stimulus due to the cupula displacement is coupled to the PNP model through the cation convective flux term. Comparison of the numerically computed cupula displacement with an analytical approximation is conducted. The effects of material stiffness and and device size on the device sensitivity are further explored.
