Symmetrization of Thin Free-Standing Liquid Films via Capillary-Driven Flow
Vincent Bertin, John Niven, Howard A. Stone +3
We present experiments to study the relaxation of a nano-scale cylindrical perturbation at one of the two interfaces of a thin viscous free-standing polymeric film. Driven by capil…
A versatile and robust microfluidic device for capillary-sized simple or multiple emulsions production
E. Teston, V. Hingot, V. Faugeras +4
Ultrasound-vaporizable microdroplets can be exploited for targeted drug delivery. However, it requires customized microfluidic techniques able to produce monodisperse, capillary-si…
Inflationary routes to Gaussian curved topography
Emmanuel Siéfert, Mark Warner
Gaussian-curved shapes are obtained by inflating initially flat systems made of two superimposed strong and light thermoplastic impregnated fabric sheets heat-sealed together along…
A microscopic picture of erosion and sedimentation processes in dense granular flows
Pierre Soulard, Denis Dumont, Thomas Salez +2
Gravity-driven flows of granular matter are involved in a wide variety of situations, ranging from industrial processes to geophysical phenomena, such as avalanches or landslides.…
How capillarity affects the propagation of elastic waves in soft gels
P. Chantelot, L. Domino, A. Eddi
Elastic waves propagating at the interface of soft solids can be altered by the presence of external forces such as capillarity or gravity. We measure the dispersion relation of wa…
Foam as a self-assembling amorphous photonic band gap material
Joshua Ricouvier, Patrick Tabeling, Pavel Yazhgur
We show that slightly polydisperse disordered 2D foams can be used as a self-assembled template for isotropic photonic band gap (PBG) materials for transverse electric (TE) polariz…
