Microscopic Details of a Fluid/Thin Film Triple Line
Timothy Twohig, Sylvio May, Andrew B. Croll
In recent years, there has been a considerable interest in the mechanics of soft objects meeting fluid interfaces (elasto-capillary interactions). In this work we experimentally ex…
The Role of Adhesion in the Mechanics of Crumpled Polymer Films
Andrew B. Croll, Timothy Twohig, Theresa Elder
Crumpling of a thin film leads to a unique stiff yet lightweight structure. The stiffness has been attributed to a complex interplay between four basic elements - smooth bends, sha…
The Influence of Thin Film Confinement on Surface Plasticity in Polystyrene and Poly(2-vinylpyridine) Homopolymer and Block Copolymer Films
Bekele J. Gurmessa, Andrew B. Croll
Thin block copolymer films have attracted considerable academic attention because of their ability to self-assemble into various microstructures, many of which have potential techn…
Onset of Plasticity in Thin Polystyrene Films
Bekele J. Gurmessa, Andrew B. Croll
Polymer glasses have numerous advantageous mechanical properties in comparison to other materials. One of the most useful is the high degree of toughness that can be achieved due t…
