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…
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…
