Weakly faceted cellular patterns versus growth-induced plastic deformation in thin-sample directional solidification of monoclinic biphenyl

Tamas Borzsonyi, Silvere Akamatsu, Gabriel Faivre

We present an experimental study of thin-sample directional solidification (T-DS) in impure biphenyl. The plate-like growth shape of the monoclinic biphenyl crystals includes two l…

From thermally activated to viscosity controlled fracture of biopolymer hydrogels

T. Baumberger, O. Ronsin

We report on rate-dependent fracture energy measurements over three decades of steady crack velocities in alginate and gelatin hydrogels. We evidence that, irrespective of gel ther…

Drainage of a nanoconfined simple fluid: rate effects on squeeze-out dynamics

Lionel Bureau, Arnaud Arvengas

We investigate the effect of loading rate on drainage in molecularly thin films of a simple fluid made of quasi-spherical molecules (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, OMCTS). We find t…

Influence of elastic deformation of porous materials in adsorption-desorption process. A thermodynamic approach

Annie Grosman, Camille Ortega

It has been known for a long time that the adsorption and condensation of gas cause elastic deformation of the porous matrix. The reversible formation of an adsorbed film, which pr…

Magic angles and cross-hatching instability in hydrogel fracture

Tristan Baumberger, Christiane Caroli, David Martina +1

The full 2D analysis of roughness profiles of fracture surfaces resulting from quasi-static crack propagation in gelatin gels reveals an original behavior characterized by (i) stro…

Friction as a probe of surface properties of a polymer glass

Lionel Bureau

We probe the temperature dependence of friction at the interface between a glassy poly(methylmethacrylate) lens and a flat substrate coated with a methyl-terminated self-assembled…
