BackgroundLiquid crystal (LC) mesophases have an orientational and positional order that can be found in both synthetic and biological materials. These order...

Introduction: Fluid gels exhibit a unique flow behaviour. Their pronounced viscoelastic behaviour arises from irregular microgel particles, leading to plasti...

The process of self-assembly of biomolecules underlies the formation of macromolecular assemblies, biomolecular materials and protein folding, and thereby is...

The papers in this collection touch on the number of questions listed above, illustrating the breadth of the field of granular matter research. They show bot...

We use 2H nuclear magnetic resonance to study the dynamics of deuterated water in a solution of linear poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) (pNIPAM, 4 wt%) across i...

We selected and summarized the most important aspects of liquid crystal alignment. Alignment by the surface profile and flat surface alignment are discussed ...

Pluronic F127 dimethacrylate (F127-DM) inks exhibit potential for 3D printing biomaterials due to their combined gelation and photo-crosslinking capabilities...

The escalating environmental impact of traditional livestock farming, particularly beef production, has spurred the search for sustainable meat alternatives....

In this article, we study the phase behavior of two polydisperse hydrocolloids: dextran and polyethylene oxide. We combine the data on the experimental osmom...

Peptide-based liquid droplets (coacervates) produced by spontaneous liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), have emerged as a promising class of drug delivery...
