Spinning elastic beads: a route for simultaneous measurements of shear modulus and interfacial energy of soft materials
Alessandro Carbonaro, Kennedy-Nexon Chagua-Encarnacion, Carole-Ann Charles +4
Large deformations of soft elastic beads spinning at high angular velocity in a denser background fluid are investigated theoretically, numerically, and experimentally using millim…

Ultra-low effective interfacial tension between miscible molecular fluids
Alessandro Carbonaro, Luca Cipelletti, Domenico Truzzolillo
We exploit the deformation of drops spinning in a denser background fluid to investigate the effective interfacial tension (EIT) between miscible molecular fluids. We find that for…

Spinning drop dynamics in miscible and immiscible environments
Alessandro Carbonaro, Luca Cipelletti, Domenico Truzzolillo
We report on the extensional dynamics of spinning drops in miscible and immiscible background fluids following a rotation speed jump. Two radically different behaviours are observe…
