Journal ArticleDOI
Toughening Elastomers with Sacrificial Bonds and Watching Them Break
Etienne Ducrot,Yulan Chen,Markus Johannes Henricus Bulters,Rint P. Sijbesma,Costantino Creton,Costantino Creton,Costantino Creton +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a variable proportion of isotropically prestretched chains that can break and dissipate energy before the material fails is introduced to increase the stiffness and toughness of brittle elastomers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystallization of DNA-coated colloids.
TL;DR: DNA-coated colloids that can rearrange and anneal are reported, thus enabling the growth of large colloidal crystals from a wide range of micrometre-sized DNA-coating colloids for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colloidal alloys with preassembled clusters and spheres
TL;DR: A new design principle based on preassembled components of the desired superstructure and programmed nearest-neighbour DNA-mediated interactions is introduced, which allows the formation of otherwise unattainable structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic Strategies Toward DNA-Coated Colloids that Crystallize
Yufeng Wang,Yu Wang,Xiaolong Zheng,Etienne Ducrot,Myung Goo Lee,Gi-Ra Yi,Marcus Weck,David J. Pine +7 more
TL;DR: This approach allows the DNA-coated colloids not only to aggregate upon cooling but also to anneal and rearrange while still bound together, leading to the formation of colloidal crystal compounds when particles of different sizes or different materials are combined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of elastomeric molecular composites
Pierre Millereau,Etienne Ducrot,JM Jessica Clough,Meredith E. Wiseman,Hugh R. Brown,Rint P. Sijbesma,Costantino Creton,Costantino Creton +7 more
TL;DR: A model system of molecular composites where the filler is a continuous network embedded into a stretchy matrix, and it is demonstrated that the elastomer undergoes a strong localized softening due to scission of covalent bonds followed by a stable necking process, a phenomenon never observed before in elastomers.
