Abstract: We explore the evolution of the mechanical properties of a coarsening foam containing colloidal particles that undergo a sol-gel transition in the continuous phase. This enables us to investigate the impact of elasto-capillarity on foam… read more here.

Abstract: We study the interaction between capillary forces and deformation in the context of a deformable capillary adhesive: a clamped, tense membrane is adhered to a rigid substrate by the surface tension of a liquid droplet.… read more here.
