Symmetrization of Thin Free-Standing Liquid Films via Capillary-Driven Flow
Vincent Bertin, John Niven, Howard A. Stone +3
We present experiments to study the relaxation of a nano-scale cylindrical perturbation at one of the two interfaces of a thin viscous free-standing polymeric film. Driven by capil…

Direct Measurement of the Elastohydrodynamic Lift Force at the Nanoscale
Zaicheng Zhang, Vincent Bertin, Muhammad Arshad +3
We present the first direct measurement of the elastohydrodynamic lift force acting on a sphere moving within a viscous liquid, near and along a soft substrate under nanometric con…
