  1. 2439. Maxwell’s demon in the real world: Experiments on control, information, and thermodynamics.

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Just over one hundred and fifty years ago, Maxwell posed a thought experiment now known as “Maxwell’s demon.” Designed to understand more deeply the nature of the newly formulated second law of thermodynamics, the demon was to play a long, controversial role in the development of statistical physics. Just two months later, Maxwell’s paper “On governors” gave the first analysis of a feedback...

  2. 2576. Crystallization Studies of Highly Monodisperse Oligomeric Poly(Ethylene Oxide)

    Oral not-in-competition (Graduate Student) / Orale non-compétitive (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Polydispersity can significantly affect the physics properties of polymers. In this study we show the differences in poly(ethylene oxide) oligomer crystallization between monodisperse and polydisperse samples as an example. Commercial polymers even with a low polydispersity index (PDI) of about 1.01, still contain a rather broad distribution of different molecular weights. In this study we...

  3. 2591. A combined local-macroscopic approach to investigate plasticity of athermal amorphous solids
    Celine Ruscher (Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute)

    Symposia Day - Soft Matter Canada 2019
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    Understanding the origin of plasticity in amorphous systems remains a challenging problem. The absence of long-range order prevents a clear definition of structural defects and therefore of their evolution during deformation. Furthermore, the interplay with temperature or the rate of deformation makes their dynamics difficult to describe.
    However, for systems slowly deformed in athermal...

  4. 2755. Droplets as model systems for investigating 2D crystals, glasses, and the growth dynamics of granular aggregates
    Prof. Kari Dalnoki-Veress (Department of Physics & Astronomy, McMaster University, and Gulliver Laboratory, ESPCI ParisTech, PSL Research University)
    04/06/2019, 09:30
    Symposia Day - Soft Matter Canada 2019
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Over the last years we have developed a method to produce monodisperse oil droplets in an aqueous environment. By carefully tuning the adhesion forces between the droplets they provide model systems for studying various physical phenomena that are not accessible by investigating the molecular counterpart. Here I will present recent work on the transition from 2D crystalline aggregates,...
