Rapid Communication in J. Chem. Phys. [link] establishes "an approach to determine temperature-dependent aggregation rates in terms of thermostatistical quantities, which can be obtained directly from flat-histogram and statistical temperature algorithms considering the density of states of the system."
New article in Soft Matter [link] introduces "a generalization of the Kelvin–Voigt model in order to include and characterize heterogeneities in viscoelastic semisolid materials."
New article in Soft Matter [link] explores "a stress–strain relationship derived from a coarse-grained model to demonstrate that rupture of the network is not necessary for rubber-like gels to exhibit such behaviour".
See also our Comment [link] indicating the subtle difference between the experimental data analysis done under the constant strain condition and theoretical approaches derived for fixed chain lengths.
Article in Eur. Phys. J. E [link] considers "a coarse-grained polymer model in order to investigate the origin of a recently discovered negative energy-related contribution to the elastic modulus G(T) of rubber-like gels."
Review article in Frontiers in Physics [link] "highlights recent advances on computational approaches that have been used in the characterisation of the viscoelastic response of semiflexible filamentous biomaterials"
Article in EPL [link] "presents a rate theory based on microcanonical thermostatistics that allows one to obtain a shape-free description of its thermally induced self-assembly kinetics"
Article in J. Stat. Phys. [link] "characterizes aggregation transitions that occur in a generalized model" and "illustrates how one can use the microcanonical thermostatistics as an analysis method to determine experimentally relevant quantities such as latent heats and free-energy barriers of aggregation transitions"
Article in Soft Matter (2021) [link] "presents an efficient computational methodology based on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to obtain the viscoelastic response of dilute solutions of semiflexible filaments"
Article in Journal of Rheology (2020) [link] "presents a simple and self-consistent framework based on non-Markovian Langevin equation that allows one to obtain the mechanical response of viscoelastic fluids and gels taking into account their microrheological heterogeneity"
Article in JSTAT (2020) [link] establishes "a theory based on microcanonical thermostatistics that establishes a simple and direct temperature dependence for all rate constants, including the forward and the reverse rate constants, the equilibrium constant, and the nucleation rate."
