Abstract:
The glassy wormlike chain model is a highly successful phenomenological model recently introduced to describe anomalously slow subdiffusive dynamics in biopolymer networks and living cells. Here we extend this model by proposing a generic scheme how to include nonlinear plastic effects by introducing the possibility of force-dependent opening and closing of internal bonds. Further, we discuss physiological implications of this bond kinetics. Stability arguments lead us to the postulation of a “physiological sheet” in the parameter space.

In addition to hardness, fracture toughness is evaluated by surface and cross-sectional investigations by scanning/transmission electron microscopy of damage events by mechanical tests.

Abstract:
<p>Comets are the most primordial and least evolved bodies in the Solar System. As such, they are unique sources of information regarding the early history of the Solar System. However, little is known about cometary nuclei since they are very difficult to observe due to the obscuring coma. Indirect methods are therefore often used to extract knowledge about nucleus parameters such as size, shape, density, material strength, and rotational properties. For example, tidal and non-tidal splitting of cometary nuclei can provide important information about nuclear densities and material strengths,

Polymer composites formed from layered fillers with high surface volume ratio show enhanced reinforcement. Graphite oxide is a high modulus material that can be separated into thin layers with high surface area. The aim of this study is to prepare polymer layered graphite oxide composites using functionalised polyolefin to enhance compatibility with various forms of layered graphite oxide in varying concentration. Functionalised polyolefins reinforced with layered graphite oxides and expanded graphite oxides were prepared using solution blending and melt blending methods. Three different mi

Abstract:
The large elastic limit, the strength close to the theoretical limit, the excellent magnetic properties and good corrosion resistance of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) make them promising for several applications such as micro-geared motor parts, pressure sensors, Coriolis flow meters, power inductors and coating materials. The main limitation of these materials is their reduced macroscopic ductility at room temperature, resulting from an inhomogeneous deformation concentrated in narrows shear bands. The poor ductility can be overcome by the incorporation of a ductile second phase in the glassy
