Vapor-to-glass preparation of biaxially aligned organic semiconductors

Jianzhu Ju, Debaditya Chatterjee, Paul M. Voyles +2

Physical vapor deposition (PVD) provides a route to prepare highly stable and anisotropic organic glasses that are utilized in multi-layer structures such as organic light-emitting…

The Soft-Membrane Surface Forces Apparatus

Ilyes Jalisse, Aditya Jha, Lionel Buisson +4

Compliant walls are widespread in biological and engineering systems. Because of their singular nature, adapted tools are required to accurately study their rheological properties…

Elucidating chirality transfer in liquid crystals of viruses

Eric Grelet, Maxime Tortora

Chirality is ubiquitous in nature across all length scales, with major implications spanning the fields of biology, chemistry and physics to materials science. How chirality propag…

A simple numerical model of the water bottle flipping experiment

Julie Nassoy, Margot Nguyen Huu, Léon Rembotte +2

The water bottle flip experiment is a recreational, non-conventional illustration of the conservation of angular moment. When a bottle partially filled with water is thrown in a ro…

Emission dynamics and spectrum of a nanoshell-based plasmonic nanolaser spaser

Ashod Aradian, Andres Cathey, Karen Caicedo +4

We study theoretically the emission and lasing properties of a single nanoshell spaser nanoparticle, or plasmonic nanolaser, made of an active core (gain material) and a plasmonic…

A threshold model of plastic waste fragmentation: New insights into the distribution of microplastics in the ocean and its evolution over time

Matthieu George, Frédéric Nallet, Pascale Fabre

Plastic pollution in the aquatic environment has been assessed for many years by ocean waste collection expeditions around the globe or by river sampling. While the total amount of…

The desalting/salting pathway: a route to form metastable aggre-gates with tuneable morphologies and lifetimes

Sumit Mehan, Laure Herrmann, Jean-Paul Chapel +3

We investigate the formation/re-dissociation mechanisms of hybrid complexes made from negatively charged PAA2k coated γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NP) and positively charged polycations…

Self-assembled nanostructured metamaterials

Virginie Ponsinet, Alexandre Baron, Emilie Pouget +3

The concept of metamaterials emerged in years 2000 with the achievement of artificial structures enabling non conventional propagation of electromagnetic waves, such as negative ph…

Switching Reversibly between Ultrastable and Unstable Foams

Anne-Laure Fameau, Arnaud Saint-Jalmes, Fabrice Cousin +7

Ultrastable foams with an optimal foamability have been obtained using hydroxyl fatty acids tubes. The stabilization results from the adsorption of monomers at the air-water interf…

Note and calculations concerning elastic dilatancy in 2D glass-glass liquid foams

François Molino, Pierre Rognon, Cyprien Gay

When deformed, liquid foams tend to raise their liquid contents like immersed granular materials, a phenomenon called dilatancy. We have aready described a geometrical interpretati…

Superposition rheology of shear-banding wormlike micelles

P. Ballesta, M. P. Lettinga, S. Manneville

Wormlike micelle solutions are submitted to small-amplitude oscillatory shear superimposed to steady shear in the shear banding regime. By imposing a shear oscillation, the interfa…

Dense granular flows: interpolating between grain inertia and fluid viscosity based constitutive laws

Pierre Rognon, Cyprien Gay

A scalar constitutive law was recently obtained for dense granular flows from a two-grain argument, both in the inertial regime (grain inertia) and in the viscous regime. As the re…

Dense granular flows: two-particle argument accounts for friction-like constitutive law with threshold

Pierre Rognon, Cyprien Gay

A scalar constitutive law is obtained for dense granular flows, both in the inertial regime where the grain inertia dominates, and in the viscous regime. Considering a pair of grai…

Soft Dynamics simulation: normal approach of deformable particles in a viscous fluid

Pierre Rognon, Cyprien Gay

Discrete simulation methods are efficient tools to investigate the complex behaviors of complex fluids made of either dry granular materials or dilute suspensions. By contrast, mat…

An elasto-visco-plastic model for immortal foams or emulsions

Sylvain Bénito, Charles-Henri Bruneau, Thierry Colin +2

A variety of complex fluids consist in soft, round objects (foams, emulsions, assemblies of copolymer micelles or of multilamellar vesicles -- also known as onions). Their dense pa…

Equilibrium Onions?

L. Ramos, D. Roux, P. D. Olmsted +1

We demonstrate the possibility of a stable equilibrium multi-lamellar (``onion'') phase in pure lamellar systems (no excess solvent) due to a sufficiently negative Gaussian curvatu…
