Patterning droplets with durotaxis

Robert W. Style, Yonglu Che, Su Ji Park +8

Numerous cell-types have shown a remarkable ability to detect and move along gradients in stiffness of an underlying substrate -- a process known as durotaxis. The mechanisms under…

Universal deformation of soft substrates near a contact line and the direct measurement of solid surface stresses

Robert W. Style, Yonglu Che, John. S. Wettlaufer +2

Droplets deform soft substrates near their contact lines. Using confocal microscopy, we measure the deformation of silicone gel substrates due to glycerol and fluorinated-oil dropl…

The Deformation of an Elastic Substrate by a Three-Phase Contact Line

Elizabeth R. Jerison, Ye Xu, Larry A. Wilen +1

Young's classic analysis of the equilibrium of a three-phase contact line ignores the out-of-plane component of the liquid-vapor surface tension. While it has long been appreciated…

Ultra-long range correlations of the dynamics of jammed soft matter

Simona Maccarrone, Giovanni Brambilla, Olivier Pravaz +8

We use Photon Correlation Imaging, a recently introduced space-resolved dynamic light scattering method, to investigate the spatial correlation of the dynamics of a variety of jamm…

Theoretical model of viscous friction inside steadily sheared foams and concentrated emulsions

S. Tcholakova, N. D. Denkov, K. Golemanov +2

In a recent letter (Denkov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 100 (2008) p. 138301) we calculated theoretically the macroscopic viscous stress of steadily sheared foam/emulsion from th…
