Liquid dewetting under a thin elastic film
Rafael D. Schulman, John F. Niven, Michiel A. Hack +2
We study the dewetting of liquid films capped by a thin elastomeric layer. When the tension in the elastomer is isotropic, circular holes grow at a rate which decreases with increa…
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…
Liquid droplets on a free-standing glassy membrane: deformation through the glass transition
Adam Fortais, Rafael D. Schulman, Kari Dalnoki-Veress
In this study, micro-droplets are placed on thin, glassy, free-standing films where the Laplace pressure of the droplet deforms the free-standing film, creating a bulge. The film's…
