Rupture dynamics of flat colloidal films

P Shah, E Ward, S Arora, MM Driscoll - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
Here, we report experimental results on the rupture of flat colloidal films over a large range
of volume fractions, 0.00≤ ϕ≤ 0.47. The films are formed using a constant fluid volume …

Retraction of thin films coated by insoluble surfactants

M De Corato, D Tammaro, PL Maffettone… - Journal of Fluid …, 2022 - cambridge.org
We investigate the retraction of a circular thin film coated with insoluble surfactants, which is
punctured at its centre. We assume that the surface pressure of the liquid–gas interface is …
