Spinning elastic beads: a route for simultaneous measurements of shear modulus and interfacial energy of soft materials
Alessandro Carbonaro, Kennedy-Nexon Chagua-Encarnacion, Carole-Ann Charles +4
Large deformations of soft elastic beads spinning at high angular velocity in a denser background fluid are investigated theoretically, numerically, and experimentally using millim…
Biaxial extensional viscous dissipation in sheets expansion formed by impact of drops of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
Ameur Louhichi, Carole-Ann Charles, Ty Phou +3
We investigate freely expanding liquid sheets made of either simple Newtonian fluids or solutions of high molecular water-soluble polymer chains. A sheet is produced by the impact…
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…
A novel setup coupling space-resolved dynamic light scattering and rheometetry unveils the heterogeneous flow field and non-affine dynamics in startup shear of a gel
A. Pommella, A. -M. Philippe, T. Phou +2
We present a new light scattering setup coupled to a commercial rheometer operated in the plate-plate geometry. The apparatus allows the microscopic dynamics to be measured, discri…
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…
Microemulsion nanocomposites: phase diagram, rheology and structure using a combined small angle neutron scattering and reverse Monte Carlo approach
Nicolas Puech, Serge Mora, Ty Phou +3
The effect of silica nanoparticles on transient microemulsion networks made of microemulsion droplets and telechelic copolymer molecules in water is studied, as a function of dropl…
