Universal scalings and switching entropy in yield-stress fluids
Rajam Elancheliyan, Jean Marc Fromental, Edouard Chauveau +1
Yield-stress fluids transition from solid-like to liquid-like behavior at a critical stress threshold, governing phenomena from industrial processing to geological flows. While pre…
Rejuvenating the structure and rheological properties of silica nanocomposites based on natural rubber
Kanyarat Boonsomwong, Anne-Caroline Genix, Edouard Chauveau +4
The antagonistic effect of processing and thermal annealing on both the filler structure and the polymer matrix is explored in polymer nanocomposites based on natural rubber with p…
The Shape of Hanging Elastic Cylinders
Serge Mora, Edward Ando, Jean-Marc Fromental +2
Deformations of heavy elastic cylinders with their axis in the direction of earth's gravity field are investigated. The specimens, made of polyacrylamide hydrogels, are attached fr…
Impact of beads and drops on a repellent solid surface: a unified description
Sristhti Arora, Jean-Marc Fromental, Serge Mora +3
We investigate freely expanding sheets formed by ultrasoft gel beads, and liquid and viscoelastic drops, produced by the impact of the bead or drop on a silicon wafer covered with…
A new look at blood shear-thinning
Luca Lanotte, Johannes Mauer, Simon Mendez +6
Blood viscosity decreases with shear stress, a property essential for an efficient perfusion of the vascular tree. Shear-thinning is intimately related to the dynamics and mutual i…
A stress-controlled shear cell for small-angle light scattering and microscopy
S. Aime, L. Ramos, J. -M. Fromental +3
We develop and thoroughly test a stress-controlled, parallel plates shear cell that can be coupled to an optical microscope or a small angle light scattering setup, for simultaneou…
Gravity driven instability in elastic solids
Serge Mora, Ty Phou, Jean-Marc Fromental +1
We demonstrate the instability of the free surface of a soft elastic solid facing downwards. Experiments are carried out using a gel of constant density , shear modulus , put…
Ultra-long range correlations of the dynamics of jammed soft matter
Simona Maccarrone, Giovanni Brambilla, Olivier Pravaz +8
We use Photon Correlation Imaging, a recently introduced space-resolved dynamic light scattering method, to investigate the spatial correlation of the dynamics of a variety of jamm…
