The emergence of local wrinkling or global buckling in thin freestanding bilayer films
John F. Niven, Gurkaran Chowdhry, James S. Sharp +1
Periodic wrinkling of a rigid capping layer on a deformable substrate provides a useful method for templating surface topography for a variety of novel applications. Many experimen…
Symmetrization of Thin Free-Standing Liquid Films via Capillary-Driven Flow
Vincent Bertin, John Niven, Howard A. Stone +3
We present experiments to study the relaxation of a nano-scale cylindrical perturbation at one of the two interfaces of a thin viscous free-standing polymeric film. Driven by capil…
Asymptotic regimes in elastohydrodynamic and stochastic leveling on a viscous film
Christian Pedersen, John Niven, Thomas Salez +2
An elastic sheet that deforms near a solid substrate in a viscous fluid is a situation relevant to various dynamical processes in biology, geophysics and engineering. Here, we stud…
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…
