Oral lubrication deals with one of the most intricate examples of biotribology, where surfaces
under sliding conditions span from the hardest enamel to soft oral tissues in human …

Biological systems exploit restricted degrees of freedom to drive self-assembly of nano-and
microarchitectures. Simplified systems, such as colloidal nanoparticles that behave as …

High-throughput ballistic injection nanorheology is a method for the quantitative study of cell
mechanics. Cell mechanics are measured by ballistic injection of submicron particles into …

“Living” polymeric networks made by noncovalent reversible bonds exhibit gel-like elasticity
at time scales shorter than the lifetime of the network bridge, but show sol-like fluidity at …

The hydrodynamic hindering of a single-particle dynamics under total confinement is
measured by optical microscopy. The three-dimensional trajectories of single-colloidal …

In this paper, we focus on the relaxation dynamics of a polymer network modeled by a fractal
cactus. We perform our study in the framework of the generalized Gaussian structure model …

Thin films of molecular gels formed in a confined space have potential applications in
transdermal delivery, artificial skin, molecular electronics, etc. The microstructures and …

In this work, we report measurements of the mean squared angular and translational
displacements of a colloidal dumbbell immersed in a viscoelastic fluid using digital …

In this work we report experimental and theoretical results for the motion of single colloidal
particles embedded in complex fluids with different interparticle interactions. The motion of …

The purpose of this study is to highlight the surface and size effects of the nanopores on the
thermodynamics and kinetics of gelation. The effects have been probed by applying …
