Adhesion-induced fingering instabilities in thin elastic films under strain
Benjamin Davis-Purcell, Pierre Soulard, Thomas Salez +2
In this study, thin elastic films supported on a rigid substrate are brought into contact with a spherical glass indenter. Upon contact, adhesive fingers emerge at the periphery of…
Surface energy of strained amorphous solids
Rafael D. Schulman, Miguel Trejo, Thomas Salez +2
Surface stress and surface energy are fundamental quantities which characterize the interface between two materials. Although these quantities are identical for interfaces involvin…
Adsorption-Induced Slip Inhibition for Polymer Melts on Ideal Substrates
Mark Ilton, Thomas Salez, Paul D. Fowler +7
Hydrodynamic slip of a liquid at a solid surface represents a fundamental phenomenon in fluid dynamics that governs liquid transport at small scales. For polymeric liquids, de Genn…
Emergent Strain-Stiffening in Interlocked Granular Chains
Denis Dumont, Maurine Houze, Paul Rambach +3
Granular chain packings exhibit a striking emergent strain-stiffening behavior despite the individual looseness of the constitutive chains. Using indentation experiments on such as…
Adsorption dynamics of hydrophobically modified polymers at an air-water interface
Corentin Trégouët, Alesya Mikhailovskaya, Thomas Salez +4
Using surface-tension measurements, we study the brush-limited adsorption dynamics of a range of amphiphilic polymers, PAAH-- composed of a poly(acrylic acid) back…
One-Step Fabrication of pH-Responsive Membranes and Microcapsules through Interfacial H-Bond Polymer Complexation
Julien Dupré de Baubigny, Corentin Trégouët, Thomas Salez +4
Biocompatible microencapsulation is of widespread interest for the targeted delivery of active species in fields such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and agro-chemistry. Capsules obt…
Elastocapillary Levelling of Thin Viscous Films on Soft Substrates
Marco Rivetti, Vincent Bertin, Thomas Salez +6
A thin liquid film with non-zero curvature at its free surface spontaneously flows to reach a flat configuration, a process driven by Laplace pressure gradients and resisted by the…
Existence of a critical layer thickness in PS/PMMA nanolayered films
Adrien Bironeau, Thomas Salez, Guillaume Miquelard-Garnier +1
An experimental study was carried out to investigate the existence of a critical layer thickness in nanolayer coextrusion, under which no continuous layer is observed. Polymer film…
