Adhesion between a viscoelastic material and a solid surface
F. Saulnier, T. Ondarcuhu, A. Aradian +1
In this paper, we present a qualitative analysis of the dissipative processes during the failure of the interface between a viscoelastic polymer and a solid surface. We reassess th…
Spreading of Latex Particles on a Substrate
A. W. C. Lau, M. Portigliatti, E. Raphael +1
We have investigated both experimentally and theoretically the spreading behavior of latex particles deposited on solid substrates. These particles, which are composed of cross-lin…
Dewetting of thin-film polymers
F. Saulnier, E. Raphael, P. -G. de Gennes
In this paper we present a theoretical model for the dewetting of ultra-thin polymer films. Assumming that the shear-thinning properties of these films can be described by a Cross-…
Roughening Transition in a Moving Contact Line
Ramin Golestanian, Elie Raphael
The dynamics of the deformations of a moving contact line on a disordered substrate is formulated, taking into account both local and hydrodynamic dissipation mechanisms. It is sho…
A Scaling Theory of the Competition between Interdiffusion and Cross-Linking at Polymer Interfaces
Achod Aradian, Elie Raphael, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes
We study theoretically situations where competition arises between an interdiffusion process and a cross-linking chemical reaction at interfaces between pieces of the same polymer…
Dewetting of thin polymer films near the glass transition
F. Saulnier, E. Raphael, P. -G. de Gennes
Dewetting of ultra-thin polymer films near the glass transition exhibits unexpected front morphologies [G. Reiter, Phys. Rev. Lett., 87, 186101 (2001)]. We present here the first t…
