Risultati finali

Quantifying and controlling dynamics through rod characteristics (si apre in una nuova finestra)

We will study the effects of particle characteristics length aspect ratio flexibility on single particle Brownian dynamics i Single rod dynamics in highly ordered phases ii Effect of nearby phase transitions on the collective dynamics Novel theoretical models will be applied using a grand canonical description mimicking the experiments Experiments on cellulose and thermoresponsive rods to approach phase transitions will provide validation of the modelling using highspeed cameras to capture so far inaccessible relevant times scales

Directing the meso-phase structure by shear flow (si apre in una nuova finestra)

Large oscillatory strains and steady shear flow will be applied to study shear-induced alignment of isotropic states and the distortion and melting of ordered LC phases.

Directing structure via chirality (si apre in una nuova finestra)

We will study the competition between chiralityinduced twist and longrange positional order on the cholesteric phase and the structure of higherorder liquid crystalline states by tuning the molecular chirality using mixtures of two mutants with opposite chiral handedness in combination with Xray scattering and fluorescence microscopy

Understanding the molecular origin of dynamically percolated states (si apre in una nuova finestra)

We investigate i The kinetic pathways that dominate temporal network formation in dispersions of rodlike particles ii If translational andor rotational motion provide the main route towards buildup and breakdown of cluster networks iii The structure of the clusters for various types of interaction and external fields including flow iv Whether the proximity to LC phases impacts upon the cluster size and structure and if this affects the percolation threshold We will use simulations dynamical connectedness percolation theory and in experiment a combination of dielectric spectroscopy optical microscopy rheology and radiation scattering

Production of thermo-responsive virus-based systems with varying length and flexibility (si apre in una nuova finestra)

We will focus on the development of the following model system Modification of rodlike virus particles such that the thickness can be tuned in situ To this end temperature responsive polymer shells will be grown onto the particles surface The thickness and crosslink density of the polymer layer offers control over the volume fraction and the hardness of the rod particlesThis deliverable will be a physical suspension of colloidal particles in a solvent

Production of thermo-responsive silica rods (si apre in una nuova finestra)

Fluorescently labelled silica particles will be synthesised offering a complimentary nonchiral alternative system to the virus system facilitating the realspace study of selfassembly and phase behaviour also in the presence of other colloidal particles and solvents This deliverable will be a physical suspension of colloidal particles in a solvent

Project identity set and launch of DiStruc web portal (si apre in una nuova finestra)

Project identity set in order to facilitate communication and create a visual identity to the project DiStruc logo brochure and a slide template will be createdThe nonconfidential general public area in the DiStruc web portal piloted by FOR will provide general background information which is not currently available in an accessible form to the general public This information will enable interested educators such as high school teachers to integrate recently acquired knowledge into the curriculum early Interested undergraduate students will find information complementing their classes The program therefore will impact on the general public and raise the interest in scientific research from theory to advanced materials thus taking an active role in advertising a career in research to young peopleA restricted domain will be constructed in the web portal to which only the consortium will have accessGiven the mix of PU and CO I have selected the more confidential dissemination level
