Weakly non-linear creep of amorphous polymers near their glass transition, comparisons between models and experiment

Martin Roman-Faure, Zhaocheng Zhang, Catalin Picu +2

The non-linear mechanics of amorphous polymers near the glass transition reveals a stress-induced acceleration of stress relaxation of nanometric sub-units. Recent theoretical work…

Anisotropic shrinkage and finite strains in confined frictional contacts

Marco Ceglie, Cosimo Mandriota, Giuseppe Carbone +2

We report on an experimental investigation of the interplay between friction, contact geometry and finite strains for smooth frictional contacts between rigid spherical glass probe…

Weak non-linearities of amorphous polymer under creep in the vicinity of the glass transition

Martin Roman-Faure, Hélène Montes, François Lequeux +1

The creep behavior of an amorphous poly(etherimide) (PEI) polymer is investigated in the vicinity of its glass transition in a weakly non linear regime where the acceleration of th…

Molecular adsorption induces normal stresses at frictional interfaces of hydrogels

Lola Ciapa, Yvette Tran, Christian Frétigny +2

Friction experiments were conducted on hydrogel thin films sliding against a rigid sphere in a low velocity regime where molecular adsorption at the sliding interface sets the fric…

Friction through molecular adsorption at the sliding interface of hydrogels: Theory and experiments

Lola Ciapa, Ludovic Olanier, Yvette Tran +3

We report on the frictional properties of thin () poly(dimethylacrylamide) hydrogel films within contacts with spherical silica probes. In order to focus on the contrib…
