Résumé: The antagonistic effect of processing and thermal annealing on both the filler structure and the polymer matrix is explored in polymer nanocomposites based on natural rubber with precipitated silica incorporated by coagulation from aqueous suspension followed by roll-milling. Their structure and linear and non-linear rheology have been studied, with a particular emphasis on the effect of high temperature thermal treatment and the number of milling passes. Small-angle X-ray scattering intensities show that the silica is organized in small, unbreakable aggregates containing ca. 50 primary nanoparticles, which are reorganized on a larger scale in filler networks percolating at the highest silica contents. As expected, the filler network structure is found to be sensitive to milling, more milling inducing rupture, as evidenced by the decreasing Payne effect. After thermal treatment, the nanocomposite structure is found to be rejuvenated, erasing the effect of the previous milling on the low-strain modulus. In parallel, the dynamics of the samples described by the rheology or the calorimetric glass-transition temperature remain unchanged, whereas the natural latex polymer network structure is modified by milling towards a more fluid-like rheology, and cannot be recovered.

Résumé: Deformations of heavy elastic cylinders with their axis in the direction of earth's gravity field are investigated. The specimens, made of polyacrylamide hydrogels, are attached from their top circular cross section to a rigid plate. An equilibrium configuration results from the interplay between gravity that tends to deform the cylinders downwards under their own weight, and elasticity that resists these distortions. The corresponding steady state exhibits fascinating shapes which are measured with lab-based micro-tomography. For any given initial radius to height ratio, the deformed cylinders are no longer axially symmetric beyond a critical value of a control parameter that depends on the volume force, the height and the elastic modulus: self-similar wrinkling hierarchies develop, and dimples appear at the bottom surface of the shallowest samples. We show that these patterns are the consequences of elastic instabilities.

Impact of elastic beads and liquid drops on repellent surface :a unified description

Résumé: We investigate freely expanding sheets formed by ultrasoft gel beads, and liquid and viscoelastic drops, produced by the impact of the bead or drop on a silicon wafer covered with a thin layer of liquid nitrogen that suppresses viscous dissipation thanks to an inverse Leidenfrost effect. Our experiments show a unified behavior for the impact dynamics that holds for solids, liquids, and viscoelastic fluids and that we rationalize by properly taking into account elastocapillary effects. In this framework, the classical impact dynamics of solids and liquids, as far as viscous dissipation is negligible, appears as the asymptotic limits of a universal theoretical description. A novel material-dependent characteristic velocity that includes both capillary and bulk elasticity emerges from this unified description of the physics of impact.

Résumé: A novel and simple method for the measurement of cloud point temperatures of solutions is presented. Cloud point determination , which is currently used to establish the phase diagrams of protein solutions, is indicative of proteins interactions and constitutes a useful tool for food products engineering. We describe a novel experimental setup that allows screening of a large number of physical-chemical conditions in one measurement and the determination of cloud point temperatures both above and below ambient temperature. We use a simple method to avoid solvent evaporation and condensation, so that the setup can be used for solutions prepared with a volatile solvent. We present the operating parameter range and the precision of the measurement. The optical properties of the system are calibrated with solutions of known transmittance, and the determination of cloud point temperatures is validated on a standard non-ionic surfactant solution. Finally, we demonstrate the efficiency of the method by determining the phase diagram of a wheat protein extract, soluble in a water/ethanol mixture. Complemented with differential scanning calorimetry measurements, the liquid-liquid phase transition can be determined up to a protein concentration of 250 g/L, a range inaccessible with conventional methods for this protein extract.

Résumé: We investigate the non-linear buckling patterns produced by the elastic Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a hyper-elastic slab hanging below a rigid horizontal plane, using a combination of experiments, weakly non-linear expansions and numerical simulations. Our experiments reveal the formation of hexagonal patterns through a discontinuous transition. As the unbuckled state is transversely isotropic, a continuum of linear modes become critical at the first bifurcation load: the critical wavevectors form a circle contained in a horizontal plane. Using a weakly non-linear post-bifurcation expansion, we investigate how these linear modes cooperate to produce buckling patterns: by a mechanism documented in other transversely isotropic structures, three-modes coupling make the unbuckled configuration unstable with respect to hexagonal patterns by a transcritical bifurcation. Stripe and square patterns are solutions of the post-bifurcation expansion as well but they are unstable near the threshold. These analytical results are confirmed and complemented by numerical simulations.

Résumé: Our project is focused on the development of a continuous encapsulation process based on the crossing of an interface by droplets of an active ingredient that have to be encapsulated. The aqueous drops are injected in an organic phase, and as the system rotates each drop is driven outwards until it reaches the interface. Under adequate conditions, it crosses the interface and at a high inertia it drives a volume of organic phase which constitutes the coating
