How emulsified droplets induce the bursting of suspended films of liquid mixtures

Léa Delance, Enric Santanach-Carreras, Nicolas Passade-Boupat +3

Emulsion droplets of silicone oil (PDMS) are widely used as antifoaming agents but, in the case of non-aqueous foams, the mechanisms responsible for the bursting of the films separ…

Pinching Dynamics of Thin Films of Binary Mixtures

A. Choudhury, L. Duchemin, F. Lequeux +1

In binary mixtures, the lifetimes of surface bubbles can be five orders of magnitude longer than those in pure liquids because of slightly different compositions of the bulk and th…

Probing interfacial effects with thermocapillary flows

M. Maza-Cuello, C. Frétigny, L. Talini

We report on the thinning of supported liquid films driven by thermocapillarity. The liquids are oil films, of initial thicknesses of a few tens of microns. A local and moderate he…

Stability of particle laden interfaces of drops flowing through a pore

Franz de Soete, Nicolas Passade-Boupat, Laurence Talini +2

When a drop laden with solid particles and suspended in a liquid passes through a narrow pore, its interface experiences strong shear and elongation, and the raft of particles may…

Modification of the fluctuation dynamics of ultra-thin wetting films

C. Clavaud, M. Maza-Cuello, C. Frétigny +2

We report on the effect of intermolecular forces on the fluctuations of supported liquid films. Using an optically-induced thermal gradient, we form nanometer-thin films of wetting…

Surface Fluctuations of an Aging Colloidal Suspension: Evidence for Intermittent Quakes

Alexandre Mamane, Christian Frétigny, François Lequeux +1

We present measurements of the thermal fluctuations of the free surface of an aging colloidal suspension, Laponite. The technique consists in measuring the fluctuations of the posi…
