Film drainage and interfacial instabilities in polymeric systems with diffuse interfaces.
We report an experimental investigation on the effect of mutual diffusion in polymeric systems on film drainage between two captive drops. The main objective is to study the influence of diffuse interfaces on film drainage. This is done by using material combinations with different interfacial properties and interferometric visualization of the film between two interacting drops. For highly dif...
متن کاملAspects of Electrohydrodynamic Instabilities at Polymer Interfaces
Electrospinning is emerging as a simple means of producing fibers with diameters ranging from 0.02 μm to many microns. Electrospinning, however, relies on the force generated by an electric field on the surface of a polymer solution to either enhance instabilities in a thinning jet or to rapidly elongate a jet of polymer solution form a nozzle. In this article, the fundamental physics and fluid...
متن کاملElectric field induced instabilities at liquidÕliquid interfaces
External electric fields were used to amplify thermal fluctuations at the interface between two thin liquid films. Similar to the results shown previously for the enhancement of fluctuations at the polymer/air interface, interfacial fluctuations having a well-defined wavelength were enhanced with a characteristic growth rate. A simple theoretical framework to describe the experimental observati...
متن کاملPlasmon excitations at diffuse interfaces
Energy losses experienced by a fast electron probe moving through a dielectric medium have been studied both numerically and analytically, where the response function varies continuously with position in one transverse direction. The frequent assumption that the loss spectrum should exhibit a peak determined by the plasmon energy in a homogeneous medium with the composition found locally at the...
متن کاملNonlinear Preconditioning for Diffuse Interfaces
A method of transforming problems with diffuse interfaces is presented which leads to equations that are easier to compute accurately. Information obtained by internal layer asymptotic analysis is utilized to motivate transformations of the dependent variables. The new evolution equations which result from this change of variables can be solved numerically in a straightforward manner. Numerical...
