Fluidization and wall slip of soft-glassy materials by controlled surface roughness
Ladislav Derzsi, Daniele Filippi, Giampaolo Mistura +5
The motion of soft-glassy materials (SGM) in a confined geometry is strongly impacted by surface roughness. However, the effect of the spatial distribution of the roughness remains…
Droplet breakup driven by shear thinning solutions in a microfluidic T-Junction
Enrico Chiarello, Anupam Gupta, Giampaolo Mistura +2
Droplet-based microfluidics turned out to be an efficient and adjustable platform for digital analysis, encapsulation of cells, drug formulation, and polymerase chain reaction. Typ…
Size-dependent commensurability and its possible role in determining the frictional behavior of adsorbed systems
Paolo Restuccia, Mauro Ferrario, Pier Luigi Sivestrelli +2
Recent nanofriction experiments of xenon on graphene revealed that the slip onset can be induced by increasing the adsorbate coverage above a critical value, which depends on tempe…
Stretching of viscoelastic drops by steady sliding
Silvia Varagnolo, Daniele Filippi, Giampaolo Mistura +2
The sliding of non-Newtonian drops down planar surfaces results in a complex, entangled balance between interfacial forces and non linear viscous dissipation, which has been scarce…
Deviation of viscous drops at chemical steps
Ciro Semprebon, Silvia Varagnolo, Daniele Filippi +4
We present systematic wetting experiments and numerical simulations of gravity driven liquid drops sliding on a plane substrate decorated with a linear chemical step. Surprisingly,…
