The Role of Nonlinear Friction in the Dewetting of Thin Film Polymers
Thomas Vilmin, Elie Raphael, Pascal Damman +4
The study of the dewetting of very thin polymer films has recently revealed many unexpected features (e.g. unusual rim morphologies and front velocities) which have been the focus…
Dewetting of Thin Viscoelastic Polymer Films on Slippery Substrates
Elie Raphael, Thomas Vilmin
Dewetting of thin polystyrene films deposited onto silicone wafers at temperatures close to the glass transition exhibits unusual dynamics and front morphologies. Here, we present…
Sliding friction between an elastomer network and a grafted polymer layer: the role of cooperative effects
Thomas Vilmin, Elie Raphael
We study the friction between a flat solid surface where polymer chains have been end-grafted and a cross-linked elastomer at low sliding velocity. The contribution of isolated gra…
Interdigitation between surface-anchored polymer chains and an elastomer : consequences for adhesion promotion
Thomas Vilmin, Caroline Tadivat, Liliane Leger +2
We study the adhesion between a cross-linked elastomer and a flat solid surface where polymer chains have been end-grafted. To understand the adhesive feature of such a system, one…
