Hydrodynamic flows in compliant channels are of great interest in physiology and microfluidics. In these situations, elastohydrodynamic coupling leads to (i) a nonlinear pressure-vs-flow-rate relation, strongly affecting the hydraulic resistance; and …
We study in this article, published in Soft Matter, the debonding of a soft adhesive layer from a micrometric pillar. We uncover power laws as a function of the pillar …
Together will colleagues from Nottingham Trent University we studied how to blow the biggest bubbles. The key is going as slow as you can, but no slower! The work has …
We decided to have a safe masked group picture and a happy group picture. What is your favorite one?
Chiara Guidolin was awarded the prize for the best talk at the Italian Soft Days 2020 for her talk entitled “Controlling foam ageing in viscoelastic media”. She presented her work …
An in vitro study was conducted to further explore the potential of an emerging ultrasound method for monitoring in real time the progress of the contact between gels with different …
The progressive onset of slip at the wall, which corresponds to a slip length increasing with the solicitation time before reaching a plateau, has been investigated for model viscoelastic polymer …
