Limitations of curvature--induced rigidity: How a curved strip buckles under gravity
Matteo Taffetani, Finn Box, Arthur Neveu +1
The preference of thin flat sheets to bend rather than stretch, combined with results from Geometry, mean that changes in a thin sheet's Gaussian curvature are prohibitively expens…
Guided droplet transport on synthetic slippery surfaces inspired by a pitcher plant
Finn Box, Chris Thorogood, Jian Hui Guan
We show how anisotropic, grooved features facilitate the trapping and directed transport of droplets on lubricated, liquid-shedding surfaces. Capillary action pins droplets to topo…
Elasto-capillary adhesion: The effect of deformability on adhesion strength and detachment
Matthew Butler, Finn Box, Thomas Robert +1
We study the interaction between capillary forces and deformation in the context of a deformable capillary adhesive: a clamped, tense membrane is adhered to a rigid substrate by th…
