Abstract: Autonomous active, elastic filaments that interact with each other to achieve cooperation and synchrony underlie many critical functions in biology. The mechanisms underlying this collective response and the essential ingredients for stable synchronization remain a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1680/jadcr.16.00075
Abstract: Lignosulfonates are a leading water reducer for cement and concrete, but their mechanism of controlling aggregation is primarily electrostatic. In contrast, polycarboxylate ether superplasticisers function via steric interactions and impart high degrees of fluidity at… read more here.
