Competition between shear and biaxial extensional viscous dissipation in the expansion dynamics of Newtonian and rheo-thinning liquid sheets
Ameur Louhichi, Carole-Ann Charles, Srishti Arora +4
When a drop of fluid hits a small solid target of comparable size, it expands radially until reaching a maximum diameter and subsequently recedes. In this work, we show that the ex…
Viscoelasticity and elastocapillarity effects in the impact of drops on a repellent surface
Carole-Ann Charles, Ameur Louhichi, Laurence ramos +1
We investigate freely expanding viscoelastic sheets. The sheets are produced by the impact of drops on a quartz plate covered with a thin layer of liquid nitrogen that suppresses s…
Impact of the protein composition on the structure and viscoelasticity of polymer-like gluten gels
Laurence Ramos, Amélie Banc, Ameur Louhichi +6
We investigate the structure of gluten polymer-like gels in a binary mixture of water/ethanol, v/v, a good solvent for gluten proteins. Gluten comprises two main families o…
Tailoring the viscoelasticity of polymer gels of gluten proteins through solvent quality
Salvatore Costanzo, Amélie Banc, Ameur Louhichi +4
We investigate the linear viscoelasticity of polymer gels produced by the dispersion of gluten proteins in water:ethanol binary mixtures with various ethanol contents, from pure wa…
Biaxial extensional viscous dissipation in sheets expansion formed by impact of drops of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
Ameur Louhichi, Carole-Ann Charles, Ty Phou +3
We investigate freely expanding liquid sheets made of either simple Newtonian fluids or solutions of high molecular water-soluble polymer chains. A sheet is produced by the impact…
Nucleation and growth of micellar polycrystals under time-dependent volume fraction conditions
A. Louhichi, E. Tamborini, N. Ghofraniha +5
We study the freezing kinetics of colloidal polycrystals made of micelles of Pluronic F108, a thermosensitive copolymer, to which a small amount of silica nanoparticles of size com…
