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.

Abstract:

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:

The paper presents the findings of the research into neoprene-like soft foamed materials during compression in water. The specific features of the internal structure of such materials lead to complex deformations. This is related to the specific features of the internal structure of materials that contain a large amount of inert air. The paper also presents the findings of structural studies which explained the relationship between the elastic properties of materials and the strength of polymer bonds forming internal air cavities. When foamed the polymer sections are destroyed under compression, it results in the loss of enclosed volume of air voids. This changes the total volume and thickness of the material, which defines some physical and thermal properties of products made of such material. Hydrostatic pressure environments have their own specific features. Rheological properties of soft polymers in a hydrostatic pressure environment give rise to a composite effect of compression deformation. The study of recent developments in the research into polymer deformations in a hydrostatic pressure environment shows that it is difficult to record the stages of reversible and nonreversible compression deformation in near-real experimental simulation of diving operations. The paper presents the developments and findings of experimental design studies for a product (wetsuit) made of foamed materials that were conducted in a hydrostatic pressure environment in an enclosed volume using special Drucktank equipment by the Marine Engineering Department of the University of Rostock

Abstract:

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been evolved over the last decade, enabling engineers and researchers to improve functionalities of parts by introducing a growing technology known as multi-material AM. In this context, fused deposition modeling (FDM) process has been modified to create multi-material 3D printed objects with higher functionality. The new technology enables it to combine several types of polymers with hard and soft constituents to make a 3D printed part with improved mechanical properties and functionalities. Knowing this capability, this paper aims to present a parametric optimization method using a genetic algorithm (GA) to find the optimum composition of hard polymer as polylactic acid (PLA) and soft polymer as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU 95A) used in Ultimaker 3D printer for making a rectangular sample under flexural load in order to minimize the von Mises stress as an objective function. These samples are initially presented in four deferent forms in terms of composition of hard and soft polymers and then, after the optimization process, the final ratio of each type of material will be achieved. Based on the volume fraction of soft polymers in each sample, the equivalent topologically-optimized samples will be obtained that are solely made of single-material PLA as hard polymer under the same flexural load as applied to multi-material samples. Finally, the structural results and manufacturability in terms of the generated support structures, as key element of some AM processes, will be compared for the resultant samples created by two methods of optimization.

Abstract:

The piezosensors modified with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with potassium sorbate (MIP-E202) and sodium benzoate (MIP-E211) imprints are tested and implemented in the determination of preservatives in soft drinks. Molecularly imprinted polymers were synthesized by noncovalent imprinting on the base of copolymer of 1,2,4,5-benzene tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and 4,4’-diaminodiphenyl oxide in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of templates. Piezoelectric sensors based on MIP and non-imprinted polymer (polyimide) were compared. High values of the imprinting factor (IF) and selectivity coefficient (k) obtained for MIP-E202 (IF = 5.4) and MIP-E211 (IF = 6.0) sensors indicated better selectivity and ability of MIP-based sensors to recognize target molecules than piezosensors modified with a reference polymer. The detectable concentrations range within 5 – 500 mg/liter, the detection limits for potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate are 1.6 and 2.0 mg/liter, respectively. Correctness of the preservative determination in model solutions was verified using the spike test. MIP-based sensors appeared sensitive to the preservative determination and insensitive to interfering substances. The matrix composition of the non-alcoholic drinks did not affect the value of the analytical signal of the piezoelectric sensor. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used as a reference method. The results of potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate determination in non-alcoholic drinks using piezosensors match the HPLC data rather well, their content in the studied soft drinks being 130 – 176 and 129 – 146 mg/liter, respectively.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractSoft reactive adhesives (SRAs) are polymer-based materials (e.g., polyurethanes, polysiloxanes, polydienes) designed to be further vulcanized or slightly cross-linked through external activation (heat, moisture, oxygen, UV–visible irradiation, etc.), either at the time of their application or within a subsequent predefined period. They are used mainly as mastics, or sealing compounds, in a wide range of industrial and commercial fields such as construction, footwear, and the automotive industry. Generally deposited as thick films, SRAs behave as structural adhesives; their low elastic moduli accommodate large strains between the bonded parts without incurring permanent damage. Other outstanding attributes of SRAs are their resistance to solvents, their ability to withstand aggressive environments, and their ease of use. This article discusses examples of SRAs and, more specifically, shows how the cross-linking chemistry, mainly through step-growth polymerization, provides their primary advantages.

Abstract:

Animal- and plant-based proteins are present in a wide variety of raw and processed foods. They play an important role in determining the final structure of food matrices. Food proteins are diverse in terms of their biological origin, molecular structure, and supramolecular assembly. This diversity has led to segmented experimental studies that typically focus on one or two proteins but hinder a more general understanding of food protein structuring as a whole. In this review, we propose a unified view of how soft-matter physics can be used to control food protein assembly. We discuss physical models from polymer and colloidal science that best describe and predict the phase behavior of proteins. We explore the occurrence of phase transitions along two axes: increasing protein concentration and increasing molecular attraction. This review provides new perspectives on the link between the interactions, phase transitions, and assembly of proteins that can help in designing new food products and innovative food processing operations.

Full text

Abstract:

Resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSOXS) has become a premier probe to study complex three-dimensional nanostructures in soft matter through combining the robust structural characterization of small-angle scattering with the chemical sensitivity of spectroscopy. This technique borrows many of its analysis methods from alternative small-angle scattering measurements that utilize contrast variation, but thus far RSOXS has been unable to reliably achieve an absolute scattering intensity required for quantitative analysis of domain compositions, volume fraction, or interfacial structure. Here, a novel technique to calibrate RSOXS to an absolute intensity at the carbon absorption edge is introduced. It is shown that the X-ray fluorescence from a thin polymer film can be utilized as an angle-independent scattering standard. Verification of absolute intensity is then accomplished through measuring the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter in a phase-mixed polymer melt. The necessary steps for users to reproduce this intensity calibration in their own experiments to improve the scientific output from RSOXS measurements are discussed.

Variations of magnetic field parameters and material composition provide a possibility of targeted micro-structural patterning of these composites. The influences of parameter variations on the resulting internal micro-structure of the low concentrated specimens are evaluated and visualized using optical microscopy and microcomputed tomography. The experimental findings are discussed in order to provide advanced possibilities of controlled patterning of soft magnetic materials. It is experimentally demonstrated that the final three-dimensional morphology of composite structure is determined mainly by the concentration of magnetic powder. The intensity of the applied magnetic field influences the rate of structuring of particles in initially viscous media and, therefore, may provide a potential opportunity to obtain non-ergodic microstructures when the matrix is polymerized before the particles have completed the structuring process. The results obtained can serve as a basis for further development of the engineering method of targeted patterning. The method is intended to obtain a material with the desired microstructure by selecting specific parameters of external stimuli and components of the composite. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Patterns in soft and biological matters’.

Abstract:

Single-molecule tracking (SMT) methods have been widely employed to offer a high-resolution characterization of synthetic polymers under ambient conditions and, thus, have advanced our understanding of their unique material properties. SMT is based on the systematic monitoring of the diffusive motions of individual fluorescent dye molecules in the as-prepared polymer thin films or thicker monoliths. Quantitative assessment of the recorded SMT video data involves the systematic analysis of the generated diffusion trajectories of a single molecule using well-established and reported methods. The results have offered a wealth of new information on the structural alignment, orientational order, and long-range continuity of the polymer microdomains; the nanoscale material heterogeneities governed by defects, misalignment, and ill-controlled preparation conditions; as well as the various forms of probe–host interactions on the single-molecule level. In the first part of this Tutorial review, we describe the fundamental principles and instrumentation of SMT, before offering interested readers and potential future SMT users a practical guidance on the selection of fluorescent probe molecules, preparation of suitable samples, and optimization of experimental conditions and imaging parameters. Then, we highlight several representative SMT studies in microphase-separated block copolymers, and semicrystalline and amorphous homopolymers to further emphasize the usefulness of SMT methods for polymer characterization without neglecting some of their shortcomings. This Tutorial review is written with the motivation to attract new researchers to the fast-growing field and assist them in starting their own SMT research of synthetic polymers and other technologically useful soft matter systems.

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, we study gap effects and apparent slip phenomena in a torsional flow of a moderately concentrated hydrophobically modified associative polymer solution.Slip is investigated by varying the gap between concentric parallel disks, and the plate surface roughness.The onset of apparent slip is shown to occur when the associative network is destroyed, and the slip velocity to increase with increased shear stresses in the strong shear-thinning region of the flow curve.The apparent slip phenomenon is shown to be due to the associative character of the polymer solution; it has been attributed to the existence of clusters of associating polymers (microgels),which behave like soft particles in a low viscous dispersing medium once the associative network is destroyed.Apparent slip can be eliminated by using measuring plates with roughness of about 100µm, that is of the order of the characteristic size of the microgels.

The main problems of the development of locomotor elements for soft robotics in terms of the design and structural analysis of actuators, and methods of activating the locomotor function, are noted. Moreover, some issues related to promising materials for soft robotics and methods for their production are considered. Great emphasis in the review is placed on an integrated approach and modern methods in the study of materials, including the use of mega-science facilities. Modern technological approaches to the design and manufacturing of soft-robotic devices are outlined. Appropriate analytical and numerical methods that allow relevant material models to be obtained for a comprehensive description of the behavior of actuators for soft robotics are considered. An overview of the functional prototypes of soft robots, designed according to the principle of nature-likeness, with active elements made of electroresponsive polymer materials is presented.

Abstract:

This article presents the experimental methodology which elucidates the stress-state dependency of the deformation behavior of a soft polymer coating adhering to titanium alloy ( Ti 6 Al 4 V ). The methodology included in situ observations of the evolution of the deformation behavior of elastic film and a rigid substrate under a micro-indenter. The tip of indenter is driven to the polymer film coating at constant displacement rate until interfacial fracture is observed. However, the stress and strain fields which develop in the coating during penetration have been calculated using finite element analysis. For the experimental results, the interfacial stresses are affected by the constraint of the rigid substrate. When the crack was constant, the region in which the stress field increased with time. In addition, the maximum shear stress and the initiation of the interfacial crack were in this region. Furthermore, the high interfacial shear stresses are distributed over a large radial distance, which lead to the fracture initiation in the region of interface.
