Influence of surface tension in the surfactant-driven fracture of particulate monolayers

Submitted by John E. Dolbow on Tue, 08/01/2017 - 00:47

Dear Colleagues,

I thought some of you may be interested in our recent paper which has been accepted to Soft Matter. The article is available online, here:

http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2014/SM/C7SM01245D?page=search

It contains a new model for the fracture of particulate rafts, and some new experimental results as well. Questions are welcome.
