The dynamic properties of interfaces often play a crucial role in the macroscopic dynamics of
multiphase soft condensed matter systems. These properties affect the dynamics of …

To the editor—The mechanical response of thin films and filaments at fluid interfaces is
affected by elastocapillary stresses. We aim to clarify the role of the solid–fluid interfacial …

Lipid-coated microbubbles are currently used clinically as ultrasound contrast agents for
echocardiography and radiology and are being developed for many new diagnostic and …

Lipid interfaces, ranging from cell membranes to thin surfactant layers that stabilize lung
alveoli, are integral to living systems. Such interfaces are often subjected to mechanical …

We investigate the use of the Wilhelmy plate method to measure the surface pressure in a
solid-like Langmuir film under compression. Layers of the protein hydrophobin, which …

In characterizing complex fluid-fluid interfaces, interfacial rheometry has become an
important tool to indirectly probe the interfacial microstructure and molecular interactions. It …

The microbubble offers a unique platform to study lung surfactant mechanics at
physiologically relevant geometry and length scale. In this study, we compared the response …

Langmuir monolayers at gas/liquid interfaces provide a rich framework to investigate the
interplay between multiscale geometry and mechanics. Monolayer collapse is investigated …

Controlling the surface roughness of thin films with nanoscale precision is of significant
interest for the rational design of surface coatings. Although wrinkling and buckling of …

We show unexpected viscoelastic response in dilute conditions for hydrophobin layers
subjected to compression in a Langmuir trough. The surface pressure, surface dilatational …
