Thin liquid films arise in many technological applications and biological phenomena. They
also present a fascinating object of study, because of a rich interplay between capillarity …

Antibubbles are unusual physical objects consisting of a liquid core (s) surrounded by a thin
air film/shell while in a bulk liquid. Antibubbles carry two air-liquid interfaces, ie, one with the …

The thinning and rupture of thin liquid films is a ubiquitous process, controlling the lifetime of
bubbles, antibubbles, and droplets. A better understanding of rupture is important for …

An antibubble is a liquid droplet wrapped by a thin layer of gas, inside a bulk liquid usually
of the same composition. The lifetime of an antibubble is governed by the drainage of the …

An antibubble is a spherical air film that is immersed in a surfactant mixture and drains under
the action of hydrostatic pressure. A dynamical model of this film is proposed that accounts …

Antibubbles, which are liquid droplets surrounded by a thin shell of gas in a liquid phase,
have several promising applications, among which is encapsulation. A major hurdle toward …

Droplets are found to exhibit a finite residence time over the volatile liquid pool due to the
confined evaporation mediated sustained thin film draining. The levitated drops are quite …

Drops impacting at low velocities onto a pool surface can stretch out thin hemispherical
sheets of air between the drop and the pool. These air sheets can remain intact until they …

Systematic experimental study is performed about the effects of chain length (varied
between C8 and C18) and concentration of fatty acids (FAc), used as cosurfactants to the …

In contrast to a soap bubble, an antibubble is a liquid globule surrounded by a thin film of air.
The collapse behavior of an antibubble is studied using a high-speed video camera. It is …
