Near-surface colloidal dynamics in jammed and slipping microgel suspensions

Masoodah Gunny, Frédérick Caetano, Matilde Bureau +4

Jammed suspensions of soft microgel particles may exhibit slippage along smooth boundaries. Owing to their expected sub-micrometric dimensions, direct observations of dynamics with…

Colloidal Suspensions can have Non-Zero Angles of Repose below the Minimal Value for Athermal Frictionless Particles

Jesús Fernández, Loïc Vanel, Antoine Bérut

We investigate the angle of repose of dense suspensions of colloidal silica particles ( to ) in water-filled microfluidic rotating drum experiments, to pr…

Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Thermo-Osmosis: Enhanced Effects on Polarized Graphene Surfaces

Mehdi Ouadfel, Samy Merabia, Yasutaka Yamaguchi +1

Thermo-osmotic flows, generated by applying a thermal gradient along a liquid-solid interface, could be harnessed to convert waste heat into electricity. While this phenomenon has…

Dense pedestrian crowds versus granular packings: An analogy of sorts

Alexandre Nicolas

Analogies between the dynamics of pedestrian crowds and granular media have long been hinted at.They seem all the more promising as the crowd is (very) dense, in which case the mec…

Simple ions control the elasticity of calcite gels via interparticle forces

Teresa Liberto, Catherine Barentin, Jean Colombani +4

Suspensions of calcite in water are employed in many industrial fields such as paper filling, pharmaceutics, heritage conservation or building construction, where the rheological p…
