Surfactant Driven Fracture of Interfacial Particle Rafts
Dominic Vella, Ho-Young Kim, Pascale Aussillous +1
We investigate the dynamic fracture of a close-packed monolayer of particles, or particle raft, floating at a liquid-gas interface induced by the localised addition of surfactant.…
A simple microscopic model for the dynamics of adhesive failure
Dominic Vella, L. Mahadevan
We consider a microscopic model for the failure of soft adhesives in tension based on ideas of bond rupture under dynamic loading. Focusing on adhesive failure under loading at con…
Elasticity of an interfacial particle raft
Dominic Vella, Pascale Aussillous, L. Mahadevan
We study the collective behaviour of a close packed monolayer of non-Brownian particles at a fluid-liquid interface. Such a particle raft forms a two-dimensional elastic solid and…
