Droplet coalescence: drainage, film rupture and neck growth in ultralow interfacial tension systems

We study the coalescence of a drop with its bulk phase in fluid-fluid demixing colloid-polymer mixtures. Such mixtures show behaviour analogous to molecular fluid-fluid systems, but the interfacial tension is between 105 to 107 times smaller than in the molecular case. Such an ultralow interfacial t...
