Area of Science:

Materials Science and Engineering
Biomaterials
Soft Matter Physics

Background:

Viscoelastic curved materials, inspired by biological systems, can form complex structures.
Controlling pattern formation in these materials is crucial for various applications.
Self-organization phenomena in soft matter are of significant scientific interest.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the self-organization of soft chitosan tubes.
To understand how varying reaction vessel orientation influences pattern formation.
To characterize the resulting structures and their growth dynamics.

Main Methods:

Injecting acidic chitosan sol into a sodium hydroxide solution.
Utilizing the adhesive force to anchor gel tubules to the reactor.
Varying the tilt angle of the reaction container during horizontal growth.
Characterizing the evolving tubular structures (folds, wrinkles, smooth tubes).

Main Results:

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and instability development on chitosan tubules.
Transformation of surface features from folds to wrinkles to smooth tubes with container orientation.
Linear growth rate of tubes scales with the container's tilt angle.

Conclusions:

Container orientation is a simple yet effective method to control self-organization in soft chitosan tubes.
The study demonstrates a tunable pathway for creating complex structures from viscoelastic materials.
Findings offer insights into pattern formation mechanisms in soft matter systems.
