Short-time inertial response of viscoelastic fluids measured with Brownian motion and with active probes (2008)

Atakhorrami, M., Mizuno, D., Koenderink, G. H., Liverpool, T. B., MacKintosh, F. C., Schmidt, C. F.

We have directly observed short-time stress propagation in viscoelastic fluids using two optically trapped particles and a fast interferometric particle-tracking technique. We have done this both by...

Manuscript information: Text: 20 pages (2008)

J. Liu, K. E. Kasza, G. H. Koenderink, D. Vader, C. P. Broedersz, D. A. Weitz

Abstract: Cross-linked actin networks are remarkable materials with unusual mechanical properties. Their elasticity is typically highly nonlinear, exhibiting a striking increase in stiffness with...

Non-equilibrium microtubule fluctuations in a model cytoskeleton (2007)

Brangwynne, C. P., Koenderink, G. H., MacKintosh, F. C., Weitz, D. A.

Biological activity gives rise to non-equilibrium fluctuations in the cytoplasm of cells; however, there are few methods to directly measure these fluctuations. Using a reconstituted actin...

Visualizing the strain field in semiflexible polymer networks: strain fluctuations and nonlinear rheology of F-actin gels (2007)

Liu, J., Koenderink, G. H., Kasza, K. E., MacKintosh, F. C., Weitz, D. A.

We image semi-flexible polymer networks under shear at the micrometer scale. By tracking embedded probe particles, we determine the local strain field, and directly measure its uniformity, or degree...

Depletion-induced crystallization in colloidal rod-sphere mixtures (1999)

Koenderink, G.H., Vliegenthart, G.A., Blaaderen, A. Van, Philipse, A.P., Lekkerkerker, H.N.W.

We report the observation of depletion-induced phase separation in a mixture of colloidal silica spheres and colloidal silica rods with light microscopy and confocal scanning laser microscopy. We...
