Tiihonen, L.V. (author), Bernardo, Gabriel (author), Dalgliesh, Robert M. (author), Mendes, Adélio (author), Parnell, S.R. (author)Cellulose membranes were prepared from an EMIMAc ionic liquid solution by nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) in coagulation baths of water–acetone mixtures, ethanol–water mixtures and water at different temperatures. High water volume fractions in the coagulation bath result in a highly reproducible gel-like structure with...journal article 2024

Zhang, M. (author), Arunachalam, Abinaya (author), Perrin, H.R.L. (author), Polat, S. (author), Groenewold, Jan (author), Mendes, E. (author), Eral, H.B. (author)Elevated humidity levels in medical, food, and pharmaceutical products may reduce the products' shelf life, trigger bacterial growth, and even lead to complete spoilage. In this study, we report a humidity indicator that mechanically bends and rolls itself irreversibly upon exposure to high humidity conditions. The indicator is made of two...journal article 2023

Lakshminarayanan, Vasudevan (author), Chockalingam, Cindhuja (author), Mendes, E. (author), van Esch, J.H. (author)Properties such as shear modulus, gelation time, structure of supramolecular hydrogels are strongly dependent on self-assembly, gelation triggering mechanism and processes used to form the gel. In our work we extend reported rheology analysis methodologies to pH-triggered supramolecular gels to understand structural insight using a model...journal article 2021

Wang, Yiming (author), Piskorz, T.K. (author), Lovrak, M. (author), Mendes, E. (author), Guo, Xuhong (author), Eelkema, R. (author), van Esch, J.H. (author)Here, transient supramolecular hydrogels that are formed through simple aging-induced seeded self-assembly of molecular gelators are reported. In the involved molecular self-assembly system, multicomponent gelators are formed from a mixture of precursor molecules and, typically, can spontaneously self-assemble into thermodynamically more...journal article 2020

El Asjadi, S. (author), Lakshminarayanan, V. (author), Besseling, N.A.M. (author), Picken, S.J. (author), Mendes, E. (author)This study investigates the stabilization of oil/water emulsions as a function of addition of a biopolymer (scleroglucan) which acts as an emulsion stabilizer. Rheological characterization in the form of controlled stress creep measurements has been carried out and it reveals the colloidal gel exhibiting a delayed yielding in a certain...journal article 2020

van der Helm, M. (author), Wang, Chang Lin (author), Fan, B. (author), Macchione, M. (author), Mendes, E. (author), Eelkema, R. (author)Signal transduction in living systems is the conversion of information into a chemical change, and is the principal process by which cells communicate. In nature, these functions are encoded in non-equilibrium (bio)chemical reaction networks (CRNs) controlled by enzymes. However, man-made catalytically controlled networks are rare. We...journal article 2020

(author)Supramolecular structures with strain-stiffening properties are ubiquitous in nature but remain rare in the lab. Herein, we report on strain-stiffening supramolecular hydrogels that are entirely produced through the self-assembly of synthetic molecular gelators. The involved gelators self-assemble into semi-flexible fibers, which thereby...journal article 2020

(author)Hydrogel microparticles are important in materials engineering, but their applications remain limited owing to the difficulties associated with their manipulation. Herein, we report the self-orientation of crescent-shaped hydrogel microparticles and elucidate its mechanism. Additionally, the microparticles were used, for the first time, as...journal article 2019

Hubbe, H.M.K. (author), Mendes, E. (author), Boukany, P. (author)Polymer nanowire-related research has shown considerable progress over the last decade. The wide variety of materials and the multitude of well-established chemical modifications have made polymer nanowires interesting as a functional part of a diagnostic biosensing device. This review provides an overview of relevant publications addressing...review 2019

(author)Controlled localization of platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) at a solid support assisted by a polarized liquid-liquid interface is reported. Electrocatalytic water oxidation resulted in local pH modulation followed by the directed self-assembly of a dibenzoyl-l-cystine hydrogelator forming a structured hydrogel retaining the shape of the Pt NP...journal article 2019

Jennings, Laurence (author), Waton, Gilles (author), Schosseler, François (author), Mendes, E. (author)Kinetically frozen copolymer micelles are commonly prepared by confining amphiphilic block copolymers in the evaporating dispersed phase of oil-in-water emulsions. We revisit the mechanisms of this process by examining its successive steps separately: the formation of the solvent/water interface, the emulsification, the solvent evaporation and...journal article 2017
