We are very pleased to announce the Soft Matter special collection on Force transmission by nonlinear biomaterials.
This collection focuses on a wide variety of non-linear mechanical phenomena in biological contexts and how they arise from the underlying fibrous structure of different biomaterials. The Guest Editors for this collection are:
- Professor Yair Shokef (Tel Aviv University, Israel)
- Professor Xiaoming Mao (University of Michigan, USA)
All of the articles are FREE to access until 24 January 2022
Read the following selection of articles from the collection:
