Abstract: We use computer simulations to investigate how a catalytic reaction in a polymer sol can induce the formation of a polymer gel. To this aim we consider a solution of homopolymers in which freely-diffusing catalysts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d2sm01450e
Abstract: Locally (re)structuring colloidal gels – micron-sized particles forming a connected network with arrested dynamics – can enable precise tuning of the micromechanical and -rheological properties of the system. A recent experimental study [B. Saint-Michel, G.… read more here.
