Numerical simulations of wet granular matter
(2010-05-06)Wet granular matter is a useful system for studing the dynamics which emerge in systems far from thermal equilibrium. It is easily accessible by experiments as well as simulations. With the ... -
Experimental investigations of the mechanical properties of wet granular matter
(2010-05-05)Granular media are omnipresent in every day life. Examples are the cereals we eat, pharmaceutical products, piece goods in industry, or sand on the beach. A dry granular material, like sand, ... -
Dewetting of Polymer Thin Films on Viscoelastic Substrates
(2010-03-03)In the present work, we study the wetting and dewetting phenomena on viscoelastic substrates, which are either planar or topographically structured.The main focus has been given primarily to the ... -
Topographie, Struktur und Dynamik thermisch aufgedampfter Polymerfilme
(2009-08-28)Due to the demand for nanostructuring and miniaturization investigation of thin films is an important field of research. In this context the question of stability and self-organized structure ... -
AFM Untersuchungen an smektischen Flüssigkristallen
(2009-08-12)This thesis presents an experimental study of focal conic domains in smectic liquid crystal films on solid substrates. Focal conic domains are complex structures in smectic phases and are ... -
Fest-Flüssig Übergänge in Schüttgütern
(2009-08-04)In this thesis, the stability and the dynamics of wet granular materials under shear are explored. Inspired by the Green"s function approach, a theoretical model for yielding of a wet pile ... -
Manipulation of Monodisperse Emulsions in Microchannels
(2009-02-25)The manipulation of monodisperse gel emulsions confined in a microfluidic channel network has been investigated. Monodisperse gel emulsions were organized by spatial confinement as a function ... -
Entropy Production and Phase Transitions far from Equilibrium with Emphasis on Wet Granular Matter
(2008-11-14)This thesis investigates irreversible dynamics. It is shown analytically that the recent Fluctuation Theorem extends to relativistic dynamics. In the analytic consideration of non-relativistic ... -
Tuning DNA Compaction
(2008-08-13)DNA compaction is the collapse of long DNA chains into well-organized condensates of complex, hierarchical nanostructure induced by the presence of cationic agents. Although much progress ... -
Actin Filaments and Bundles in Flow
(2008-08-06)Actin, a protein and major component of the cytoskeleton, is organized in vivo into filaments, bundles, and networks which play an important role in mechanical stability and cellular motility. ... -
Manipulation of Wetting Morphologies in Topographically Structured Substrates
(2008-02-11)In the present work, static liquid morphologies confined to linear micron sized surface grooves were studied experimentally and analyzed theoretically. Geometries with increasing complexities, ... -
Biological Matter in Microfluidic Environment - from Single Molecules to Self-Assembly
(2006-08-02)The interior as well as the exterior of cells is governed by networks composed of fibrous proteins. The mesh size of these networks is on the order of micrometers and therefore distinguishes ... -
Stationary Properties of Driven Granular Gases
(2005-03-18)We study driven granular gases in two dimensions. First we present systems of smooth particles between two vibrating walls. For these intrinsically inhomogeneous systems we measure all ...
