This review presents an integrated theoretical and computational characterization and
analysis of surface pattern formation in chiral and achiral liquid crystal self-assembly and the …

We review our recent contributions to anisotropic soft matter models for liquid crystal
interfaces, drops and membranes, emphasizing validations with experimental and biological …

Hypothesis Liquid-crystalline phase separation by nucleation and growth (NG) is a crucial
step in the formation of collagen-based biomaterials. However, the fundamental …

The collagen triple helix is a ubiquitous biomacromolecule used in acidic aqueous solutions
as precursor in the fabrication of artificial compact bone and cornea and in tissue …

Tropocollagen is considered one of the main precursors in the fabrication of collagen-based
biomaterials. Triple helix acidic solutions of collagen I have been shown experimentally to …

This paper presents theory and simulation of viscous dissipation in evolving interfaces and
membranes under kinematic conditions, known as astigmatic flow, ubiquitous during growth …

In vitro non-equilibrium chiral phase ordering processes of biomacromolecular solutions
offer a systematic and reproducible way of generating material architectures found in Nature …

Shape is a crucial geometric property of surfaces, interfaces, and membranes in biology,
colloidal and interface science, and many areas of physics. This paper presents theory …

This review presents theory and simulation of liquid crystal phase ordering in biological
fibrous materials, solutions, and composites in the presence of elastic fields, second phase …

Background Liquid crystal (LC) mesophases have an orientational and positional order that
can be found in both synthetic and biological materials. These orders are maintained until …
