25th Anniversary article: What can be done with the Langmuir‐Blodgett method? Recent developments and its critical role in materials science
The Langmuir‐Blodgett (LB) technique is known as an elegant method for fabrication of well‐
defined layered structures with molecular level precision. Since its discovery the LB method …

Mechanical properties of reconstituted actin networks at an oil–water interface determined by microrheology
D Ershov, MC Stuart, J van der Gucht - Soft Matter, 2012 - pubs.rsc.org
There have been various attempts to investigate the mechanical properties of the actin
cortex in cells, but the factors that control them remain poorly understood. To make progress …

Probing interfacial dynamics and mechanics using submerged particle microrheology. I. Theory
Microrheology relies on tracking the thermal or driven motion of microscopic particles in a
soft material. It is well suited to the study of materials that have no three-dimensional …
