Exploring the Impact of Ring Mobility on the Macroscopic Properties of Doubly Threaded Slide-Ring Gel Networks (Stuart J. Rowan and co-workers) @UChicagoPME @UChiChemistry @JongwonOh_ @mikeyliu97 @HojinKim_ @jerryhertzog @StuartJRowan #AngewandteVIP https://t.co/m9izLoi40B

[Hojin Kim @HojinKim_]

Check out this exciting work by @JongwonOh_ @mikeyliu97 @StuartJRowan and the team. This work studies the effect of ring mobility on the relaxation and mechanical properties of slide-ring gels by varying the size of the ring crosslinking moieties.

I'm excited to share our recent work “Exploring the Impact of Ring Mobility on the Macroscopic Properties of Doubly Threaded Slide-Ring Gel Networks" just published online in @angew_chem @StuartJRowan @UChicagoPME @UChiChemistry https://t.co/9mo7cpBwfC

@softmatter Huge thanks to @StuartJRowan, Mike, Tom, and Heinrich. I am also proud of Finn, who worked as an REU student @UChiMaterials, for performing a major portion of the experiments independently!

Check out my latest work at @softmatter on shear thickening behavior induced by dynamic covalent chemistry. This shear thickening is similar to that of physically contacting hard spheres but exhibits a distinct particle size dependence. https://t.co/3tDHNt1tyz

[UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering @UChicagoPME]

Tune in to @scifri TODAY to learn how the physics of Silly Putty could create wearable protective gear and liquids that turn solid with a shake. @UChicago Prof. Heinrich Jaeger talks with @iraflatow. Listen in from 1-3 pm CT at @WBEZ and read more below!

New understanding of 'oobleck-like' fluids contributes to smart material design @PNASNews https://t.co/e3wb8PMik2 https://t.co/LmkIvCItbT

[UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering @UChicagoPME]

@UChicagoPME researchers investigate the fundamental physics of non-Newtonian fluids like #oobleck to apply to practical applications, such as paint that doesn’t clump and wearable protective gear that stiffens when hit. 🫧 Read more at the link below.

Excited to share my latest work with @StuartJRowan,@EsserKahnLab on the role of friction in shear-thickening piezoelectric suspensions and exploring the potentials of shear-induced piezoelectric response for shear-stiffening materials, published in PNAS. https://t.co/uQcwdAAACn

[Hojin Kim @HojinKim_]

So proud to finally publish my first-ever PhD project. Huge thanks to @EMFurst and G. Fytas @mpi_polymer (and the team!).

[Hojin Kim @HojinKim_]

Exciting update! Our research on self-assembled colloidal phononic crystals with amazing acoustic wave properties thanks to periodic interference. 🎶 The anisotropic crystal exhibits direction-dependent bandgap positions!

[Hojin Kim @HojinKim_]

Exciting update! Just published our latest research @softmatter Revealing dynamic chemistry's potential in tuning suspension non-Newtonian rheology. Interparticle dynamic bonds create "sticky" shear-induced constraints. @StuartJRowan @BaldPolymerGuy
