Sliding of liquid droplets on thin viscoelastic soft layers
Menghua Zhao, Julien Dervaux, Tetsuharu Narita +3
Soft substrates are deformed by liquid-vapor surface tension upon contact with liquid droplets, forming the well-known wetting ridge. This ridge dynamically propagates with the mov…
Multispeckle diffusing wave spectroscopy as a tool to study heterogeneous mechanical behavior in soft solids
Jianzhu Ju, Luca Cipelletti, Stephan Zoellner +2
Multiple speckle diffusing wave spectroscopy (MSDWS) can be applied to measure spatially heterogeneous mechanical behavior in soft solids, with high sensitivity to deformation and…
Fracture of dual crosslink gels with permanent and transient crosslinks
Koichi Mayumi, Jingyi Guo, Tetsuharu Narita +2
We have carried out systematic fracture experiments in a single edge notch geometry over a range of stretch rates on dual crosslink hydrogels made from polyvinyl alcohol chains che…
Partial rejuvenation of a colloidal glass
F. Ozon, T. Narita, A. Knaebel +3
We study the effect of shear on the aging dynamics of a colloidal suspension of synthetic clay particles. We find that a shear of amplitude reduces the relaxation time measured…
