J (Jasper) van der Gucht Projects by J van der Gucht Drying of water borne coating: Spontaneous Inversion in Jammed Systems During drying of a water borne coating, the dispersed resin must form a continuous, water-resistant film. How strong is a polyelectrolyte complex? If you mix a solution of positively charged polymers with negatively charged polymers, a polyelectrolyte complex is formed under the right conditions Hybrid Networks This project concerns a new class of hydrogels and hydromicrogels based on biomimetic protein polymers. The aim is to understand the multiscale static... Metal Containing Complex Coacervate Core Micelles Complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) are nanostructures formed by mixing aqueous solutions of a polyion-neutral diblock copolymer and an oppositely... Microrheology of 2D-Actin networks Actin is a protein found in all eukaryotic cells; mainly it occurs as the major component in the cells’ cytoskeleton and cortex, also it... Multi-responsive reversible gels based on charge driven assembly Physical gels are interesting candidates for a multitude of applications, because physical gels are self-healing and responsive. Self-assembled double polymer networks: flow and fracture Double polymer networks consist of two independently cross-linked, water-filled polymer networks that are topologically interlocked. A mechanical...
