Apollonian Emulsions
Sylvie Kwok, Robert Botet, Abdulwahed Shglabow +1
We have discovered the existence of extremely polydisperse High Internal-Phase-Ratio Emulsions (HIPE) in which the internal-phase droplets, present at 95% volume fraction, remain s…
Apollonian Packing in Polydisperse Emulsions
Sylvie Kwok, Robert Botet, Lewis Sharpnack +1
We have discovered the existence of polydisperse High Internal-Phase-Ratio Emulsions (HIPE) in which the internal-phase droplets, present at 95% volume fraction, remain spherical a…
Tunable active rotational diffusion in swimming droplets
Adrien Izzet, Pepijn Moerman, Jan Groenewold +2
Here we characterize the motility of athermal swimming droplets within the framework of active rotational diffusion. Just like active colloids, their trajectories can be modeled wi…
Preferential Root Tropism Induced by Structural Inhomogeneities in 2D Wet Granular Media
Cesare M. Cejas, Lawrence A. Hough, Raphaël Beaufret +3
We investigate certain aspects of the physical mechanisms of root growth in a granular medium and how these roots adapt to changes in water distribution induced by the presence of…
Experimental investigation of water distribution in two-phase zone during gravity-dominated evaporation
C. Cejas, J. -C. Castaing, L. A. Hough +2
We characterize the water repartition within the partially saturated (two-phase) zone (PSZ) during evaporation out of mixed wettable porous media by controlling the wettability of…
Hiding in plain view: Colloidal self-assembly from polydisperse populations
Bernard Cabane, Joaquim Li, Franck Artzner +5
We report small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments on aqueous dispersions of colloidal silica with a broad monomodal size distribution (polydispersity 18%, size 8 nm). Over…
