The use of well‐defined macromolecular assemblies with tunable interactions represents
the key for exploring the regime of soft‐material behavior between hard spheres and …

Interference lithography (IL) holds the promise of fabricating large‐area, defect‐free 3D
structures on the submicrometer scale both rapidly and cheaply. A stationary spatial …

We present an application of the higher order asymptotic homogenization method (AHM) to
the study of wave dispersion in periodic composite materials. When the wavelength of a …

For many years, colloidal hard spheres and polymeric coils served as model limiting cases
of soft matter behavior. Softening the potential of interactions has been an obvious …

We report on the observation of two hypersonic phononic gaps of different nature in three-
dimensional colloidal films of nanospheres using Brillouin light scattering. One is a Bragg …

Proteinoids are artificial polymers that imitate certain characteristics of natural proteins,
including self–organization, catalytic activity, and responsiveness to external stimuli. This …

Measuring polymer surface dynamics remains a formidable challenge of critical importance
to applications ranging from pressure-sensitive adhesives to nanopatterning, where …

Colloidal supraparticles are micron-scale spherical assemblies of uniform primary particles,
which exhibit emergent properties of a colloidal crystal, yet exist as a dispersible powder. A …

Anticancer hybrid mineral highly-magnetic protein–tannin vehicles are tunable and
controllable external triggers for drug delivery systems. The saturation level of submicron …

Brillouin spectroscopy has been used to study the vibrational dynamics of clusters of
spherical polystyrene (PS) particles with different size. In a first approximation, the spectra …
