Pattern Formation in Crumpled Hydrogel upon Rapid Dehydration with Acetone
George T. Fortune, Merlin A. Etzold, Julien R. Landel +1
From microactuators to biological tissues, non-porous materials with the ability to strongly expand when in contact with a solvent are ubiquitous. Consequently, the swelling of pol…
Droplet absorption and spreading into thin layers of polymer hydrogels
Merlin A. Etzold, George T. Fortune, Julien R. Landel +1
From biological tissues to layers of paint, macroscopic non-porous materials with the capacity to swell when brought in contact with an appropriate solvent are ubiquitous. Here, we…
Traces of surfactants can severely limit the drag reduction of superhydrophobic surfaces
François J. Peaudecerf, Julien R. Landel, Raymond E. Goldstein +1
Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) have the potential to achieve large drag reduction for internal and external flow applications. However, experiments have shown inconsistent result…
