Mechanics of Intermediate Filaments
(2014-07-02)The eukariotic cytoskeleton consists of three major filament types: actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. While the first two filament types are highly conserved, intermediate filaments vary between ... -
Liquid Crystals in Aqueous Ionic Surfactant Solutions: Interfacial Instabilities & Optical Applications
(2014-06-02)This thesis presents the properties and applications of various liquid crystal (LC)-aqueous ionic surfactant systems. It begins with the study of micellar solubilization of different LCs in aqueous ionic micellar solutions. ... -
Organization of the Cytoskeleton: Studies in Microfluidic Drops
(2014-05-19)The cytoskeleton is a cellular protein system, which acts as a scaffold for cells. The major fiber-forming constituents of the cytoskeleton are microtubules, actin filaments and intermediate filaments, which build networks ... -
Dynamics of soft interfaces in droplet-based microfluidics
(2014-04-30)This doctoral thesis presents the study of di erent dynamic processes occurring at the droplet interface, and the methods implemented for their study. The objective of this work is to unravel what are the important properties ... -
Scanning X-Ray Nano-Diffraction on Eukaryotic Cells: From Freeze-Dried to Living Cells
(2013-12-13)The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is a complex and dynamic network of different biopolymers, which plays an important role in, e.g., the determination of cellular shape, mechanical properties, and consequently specific ... -
Biophysics of Blood Platelet Contraction
(2013-05-21)This work is part of a project on blood platelet contraction using an innovative double approach to experiments. First, we adapted the experimental technique, traction force microscopy (TFM), to our cellular system, and ... -
Cation induced self-assembly of intermediate filaments
(2013-05-15)Cellular shape and the internal structure of living cells are defined by a dense network of three independent filament systems (actins, microtubules and intermediate filaments) termed "the cytoskeleton". Of these three ... -
Multilagenbasierte Transmissionsoptiken für die Röntgenmikroskopie
(2012-08-23)Microscopy in the x-ray regime (0,001 – 10 nm wavelength) is a well-established method filling the gap between light and electron microscopy. Focusing of x-rays using transmission optics like zone plates, spatial resolutions ... -
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 ...
