Relaxation and Intermediate Asymptotics of a Rectangular Trench in a Viscous Film
Oliver Bäumchen, Michael Benzaquen, Thomas Salez +5
The surface of a thin liquid film with nonconstant curvature flattens as a result of capillary forces. While this leveling is driven by local curvature gradients, the global bounda…
From adhesion to wetting of a soft particle
Thomas Salez, Michael Benzaquen, Elie Raphaël
Using a thermodynamical approach, we calculate the deformation of a spherical elastic particle placed on a rigid substrate, under zero external load, and including an ingredient of…
Capillary leveling of stepped films with inhomogeneous molecular mobility
Joshua D. McGraw, Thomas Salez, Oliver Bäumchen +2
A homogeneous thin polymer film with a stepped height profile levels due to the presence of Laplace pressure gradients. Here we report on studies of polymeric samples with precisel…
