Non-contact mechanics of soft and liquid interfaces by hydrodynamic confinement using a frequency-modulated AFM
Lucie Corral, Christian Curtil, Medhi Lagaize +2
Measuring the mechanical response of liquid interfaces without direct contact remains a major experimental challenge, particularly in liquid-liquid systems where no solid reference…
Deformation and orientation of a capsule with viscosity contrast in linear flows: a theoretical study
Paul Regazzi, Marc Leonetti
We develop a perturbation theory to study the shape and the orientation of an initially spherical capsule of radius R with a viscosity contrast, a surface tension Ï and a bending…
Early bloodmaterial interfacial events and capillary transport on nanoparticle modified nanofibers
Romain Scarabelli, Mehdi Abbasi, Magali Gary-Bobo +3
Electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)nanofibrous mats are widely considered for blood-contacting wound dressings and small-diameter vascular applications; however, their intrinsi…
Drop deformation with soluble surfactants in linear flows: role of adsorption-desorption
Paul Regazzi, Marc Leonetti
Drop deformation in shear flow is determined up to second order theory in Ca while considering kinetic effects on surfactants distributions in steady state. Surfactants inside the…
Margination of artificially stiffened red blood cells
Revaz D. Chachanidze, Othmane Aouane, Jens Harting +2
Margination, a fundamental process in which leukocytes migrate from the flowing blood to the vessel wall, is well-documented in physiology. However, it is still an open question on…
