We investigate the role of physical confinement on the polymer viscosity and the glass transition temperature (T g) of unentangled polymers undergoing capillary rise infiltration …
Understanding and modulating the interactions between molten polymers and porous solids is important for numerous processes and phenomena including catalytic conversion of …

This work combines experiments and finite element simulations to study the effect of pre- imposed cyclic loading on surface instability of silicon rubber under compression. We first …
In this work, we combine both experiments and numerical simulations to study the large deformation mechanics of two-dimensional patterned porous silicone rubber under biaxial …
If a soft solid is compressible, its volume changes with imposed loading. The extent of the volume change depends on its Poisson's ratio. Here, we study the effect of the mechanical …
The bilayered structure of hard thin film on soft substrate can lose stability and form specific patterns, such as wrinkles or creases, on the surface, induced by external stimuli. For bilayer …
Materials have a hierarchical nature, deriving often their most useful properties from microscale or nanoscale constituents. Multiresolution analysis, a generalized continuum …
