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…
Spreading on viscoelastic solids: Are contact angles selected by Neumann's law?
M. van Gorcum, S. Karpitschka, B. Andreotti +1
The spreading of liquid drops on soft substrates is extremely slow, owing to strong viscoelastic dissipation inside the solid. A detailed understanding of the spreading dynamics ha…
