Deformation of hydrogel during freezing
Lila Séguy, Axel Huerre, Suzie Protière
We conducted experiments to directionally freeze agar hydrogel drops with different polymer concentrations, on a copper substrate maintained at low temperature. Unlike the water dr…
Wrinkles, folds and plasticity in granular rafts
Etienne Jambon-Puillet, Christophe Josserand, Suzie Protière
We investigate the mechanical response of a compressed monolayer of large and dense particles at a liquid-fluid interface: a granular raft. Upon compression, rafts first wrinkle; t…
The compression of a heavy floating elastic film
Etienne Jambon-Puillet, Dominic Vella, Suzie Protière
We study the effect of film density on the uniaxial compression of thin elastic films at a liquid--fluid interface. Using a combination of experiments and theory, we show that dens…
How Capillary Rafts Sink
S. Protiere, M. Abkarian, J. Aristoff +1
We present a fluid dynamics video showing how capillary rafts sink. Small objects trapped at an interface are very common in Nature (insects walking on water, ant rafts, bubbles or…
