Structural anisotropy of directionally dried colloids
François Boulogne, Ludovic Pauchard, Frédérique Giorgiutti-Dauphiné +6
Aqueous colloidal dispersions of silica particles become anisotropic when they are dried through evaporation. This anisotropy is generated by a uniaxial strain of the liquid disper…
Suppression of the Rayleigh-Plateau instability on a vertical fibre coated with wormlike micelle solutions
François Boulogne, Marc-Antoine Fardin, Sandra Lerouge +2
We report on the Rayleigh-Plateau instability in films of giant micelles solutions coating a vertical fibre. We observe that the dynamics of thin films coating the fibre could be v…
How to reduce the crack density in drying colloidal material?
François Boulogne, Frédérique Giorgiutti-Dauphiné, Ludovic Pauchard
The drying of a colloidal dispersion can result in a gel phase defined as a porous matrix saturated in solvent. During the drying process, high mechanical stresses are generated. W…
