Evaporative self-assembly of motile droplets
Anton Molina, Shailabh Kumar, Stefan Karpitschka +1
Self-assembly is the underlying building principle of biological systems and represents a promising approach for the future of manufacturing, but the yields are often limited by un…
Regimes of Soft Lubrication
Martin Essink, Anupam Pandey, Stefan Karpitschka +2
Elastohydrodynamic lubrication, or simply soft lubrication, refers to the motion of deformable objects near a boundary lubricated by a fluid, and is one of the key physical mechani…
Wetting of two-component drops: Marangoni contraction versus autophobing
Michiel A. Hack, Wojciech Kwieciński, Olinka Ramírez-Soto +4
The wetting properties of multi-component liquids are crucial to numerous industrial applications. The mechanisms that determine the contact angles for such liquids remain poorly u…
On the singular nature of the elastocapillary ridge
A. Pandey, B. Andreotti, S. Karpitschka +3
The functionality of soft interfaces is crucial to many applications in biology and surface science. Recent studies have used liquid drops to probe the surface mechanics of elastom…
Peeling an elastic film from a soft viscoelastic adhesive: experiments and scaling laws
Hugo Perrin, Antonin Eddi, Stefan Karpitschka +2
The functionality of adhesives relies on their response under the application of a load. Yet, it has remained a challenge to quantitatively relate the macroscopic dynamics of peeli…
Dynamic Force Measurements on Swimming Chlamydomonas Cells using Micropipette Force Sensors
Thomas J. Böddeker, Stefan Karpitschka, Christian T. Kreis +2
Flagella and cilia are cellular appendages that inherit essential functions of microbial life including sensing and navigating the environment. In order to propel a swimming microo…
