Molecular dynamics simulation of the capillary leveling of viscoelastic polymer films
Ioannis Tanis, Hendrik Meyer, Thomas Salez +3
Surface tension-driven flow techniques have recently emerged as an efficient means of shedding light into the rheology of thin polymer films. Motivated by experimental and theoreti…
Elastocapillary bending of microfibers around liquid droplets
Rafael D. Schulman, Amir Porat, Kathleen Charlesworth +4
We report on the elastocapillary deformation of flexible microfibers in contact with liquid droplets. A fiber is observed to bend more as the size of the contacting droplet is incr…
Capillary levelling of free-standing liquid nanofilms
Mark Ilton, Miles M. P. Couchman, Cedric Gerbelot +6
We report on the capillary-driven levelling of a topographical perturbation at the surface of a free-standing liquid nanofilm. The width of a stepped surface profile is found to ev…
