Polymer mechanochemistry is an exciting, rapidly developing field; however, it lacks
detailed studies on the link between lab-scale mechanical activation and how the chemistry …

Polymer mechanochemistry uses mechanical forces to break and manipulate chemical
bonds, driving a functional response in the material of choice, thus making it an ideal …

Fragmentation of macromolecular solutes in rapid flows is of considerable fundamental and
practical importance. The sequence of molecular events preceding chain fracture is poorly …

The main goal of the field of neuromorphic computing is to build machines that emulate
aspects of the brain in its ability to perform complex tasks in parallel and with great energy …

Mechanical forces can drive chemical transformations in polymers, directing reactions along
otherwise inaccessible pathways, providing exciting possibilities for developing smart …

Micro-funnels have been widely applied to produce extensionally dominant flows for DNA
manipulation, such as DNA extension for DNA mapping and DNA fragmentation for gene …

Mechanical degradation of macromolecules in strong flows is encountered in many
industrial processes spanning from biopharmaceutics manufacturing to enhanced oil …

A new method based on quasi-independent parallel simulation approach, replica-
averaging, has been developed to study the influence of flow on mechanical force-mediated …

We explore the rheology of very concentrated (0.55< Φ< 0.67) suspensions of carbonyl iron
particles coated by a small polymer. A strong discontinuous shear thickening (DST) is …

With the design of experiments (DoE), this study analyses the influence of physical (capillary
diameter and pressure drop) and chemical variables (salinity, polymer concentration, and …
