Direct measurement of the critical pore size in a model membrane
Mark Ilton, Christian DiMaria, Kari Dalnoki-Veress
We study pore nucleation in a model membrane system, a freestanding polymer film. Nucleated pores smaller than a critical size close, while pores larger than the critical size grow…
Controlling Marangoni induced instabilities in spin-cast polymer films: how to prepare uniform films
Paul D. Fowler, Celine Ruscher, Joshua D. McGraw +2
In both research and industrial settings spin coating is extensively used to prepare highly uniform thin polymer films. However, under certain conditions, spin coating results in f…
Elastocapillary bending of microfibers around liquid droplets
Rafael D. Schulman, Amir Porat, Kathleen Charlesworth +4
We report on the elastocapillary deformation of flexible microfibers in contact with liquid droplets. A fiber is observed to bend more as the size of the contacting droplet is incr…
Approach to universal self-similar attractor for the levelling of thin liquid films
Michael Benzaquen, Paul Fowler, Laetitia Jubin +3
We compare the capillary levelling of a random surface perturbation on a thin polystyrene film with a theoretical study on the two-dimensional capillary-driven thin film equation.…
