Nature of barriers determines first passage times in heterogeneous media

Soft Matter, 2024, 20,8353-8362
DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00908H, Paper
Moumita Dasgupta, Sougata Guha, Leon Armbruster, Dibyendu Das, Mithun K. Mitra
The nature of barriers control the first passage times in heterogenous media. For entropic barriers, the first passage times increases monotonically with increasing number of barriers, while for energetic barriers, passage times show a non-monotonic behaviour with increasing barriers.

An optimized PFC/W emulsion contains 1 mM lipid per 1% (v/v) dispersed phase for an emulsifying monolayer; higher ratios result in triple layers. Low viscosity ratios ηD/ηC ≤ 5 and low PFC volume fractions lead to smaller monodisperse droplets.

Scale-dependent interactions enable emergent microrheological stress response of actin–vimentin composites

Soft Matter, 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00988F, Paper
Julie Pinchiaroli, Renita Saldanha, Alison E. Patteson, Rae M. Robertson-Anderson, Bekele J. Gurmessa
The unique mechanical behaviors of actin–vimentin composites in both linear and nonlinear regimes are shaped by the complex interactions among actin entanglements, vimentin crosslinking, and poroelastic properties.
