We have developed a method for measuring the thickness of thin liquid films down to a few nanometres. By combining several analysis strategies adapted to different thickness regimes and an …
The crystallisation that occurs when a drop is in contact with a cold surface is a particularly challenging phenomenon to capture experimentally and describe theoretically. The situation of a liquid–liquid …
We have published this article in Phys. Rev. Fluids. Production, drainage and stability of foams films, i.e. films in contact with their menisci, are fascinating problems that remain still unsolved. …
We published this article in Soft Matter. Drops in extensional flow undergo a deformation, which is primarily fixed by a balance between their surface tension and the viscous stress. This …
Marina Pasquet completed her thesis under the supervision of Emmanuelle Rio. Her work focused on the mechanisms underlying the stability of soap films, bubbles and foams. She has made remarkable …
The 2024 Société Française de Neutronique Thesis Award has been granted to Tiago Outerelo Corvo for his remarkable research conducted between the Laboratory of Solid State Physics (LPS) and the …
During her PhD, Suzanne Lafon studied the dynamics of liquids near solid surfaces. She used molecular dynamics to probe the friction Lennard-Jones fluids on a model wall as the liquid …
During the JADH organized in Obernai from october 16th to october 18th, Frédéric Restagno has been honored with the Dédale Prize by the French Adhesion Society. This award recognizes his …
During coating processes, dust deposition can lead to an uneven thickness in the resulting film, posing significant problems in industrial processes. Our study explores the effects of solid defects using …
We present an experimental study on the freezing of alkane drops impacted on a liquid bath. More specifically, for drops of hexadecane and tetradecane on brine, we found a morphological …
