Wetting: statics and dynamics
- P. Gennes
- Physics
- 1 July 1985
The wetting of solids by liquids is connected to physical chemistry (wettability), to statistical physics (pinning of the contact line, wetting transitions, etc.), to long-range forces (van der…
The Physics Of Foams
- P. Gennes
- Physics
- 1999
Ordinary foams such as the head of a glass of beer and more exotic ones such as solid metallic foams raise many questions for the physicist and have attracted a substantial research community in…
Reptation of a Polymer Chain in the Presence of Fixed Obstacles
- P. Gennes
- Materials Science
- 15 July 1971
We discuss possible motions for one polymer molecule P (of mass M) performing wormlike displacements inside a strongly cross‐linked polymeric gel G. The topological requirement that P cannot…

Coil-stretch transition of dilute flexible polymers under ultrahigh velocity gradients
- P. Gennes
- Physics
- 15 June 1974
Because the hydrodynamic interactions are reduced by stretching, a solute polymer coil should unwind abruptly when a certain critical value of the velocity gradient is reached. Depending on the…
