Single polymer dynamics offers a powerful approach to study molecular-level interactions
and dynamic microstructure in materials. Direct visualization of single polymer chains has …

We study a model describing the force-extension curves of modular proteins, nucleic acids,
and other biomolecules made out of several single units or modules. At a mesoscopic level …

Block copolymer stars (BCSs) have been demonstrated to constitute versatile, self-
assembling building blocks with tunable softness, functionalization, and shape. We …

Here we report novel micro-PIV measurements around micron-sized objects that are trapped
at the centre of a stagnation point flow generated in a cross-slow microchannel using real …

The existence of two types of internal friction—wet and dry—is revisited, and a simple
protocol is proposed for distinguishing between the two types and extracting the appropriate …

Stagnation point flows have been widely used to study the deformation and break-up of
objects in two-dimensional pure straining flows. Here, we report a systematic study of the …

Hydrodynamic trapping of a particle or cluster of particles based on contact and non-contact
approaches has brought prominent insights to micro-nano scale applications. Of the non …

The Jarzynski relation (and its variants) has provided a route to the experimental evaluation
of equilibrium free energy changes based on measurements conducted under arbitrary non …

This paper is a theoretical study of the stochastic thermodynamics of a single, optically
trapped particle that is initially in equilibrium at temperature T and is then subjected to a …
