title = "Giant deformation and tip-streaming from sheared drops",
abstract = "The presence of surfactant has a strong impact on the deformation of a drop. Creating a strong gradient of surfactant concentration induces giant deformations on a drop until the apparition of a tip singularity. The present study presents a novel experimental approach to obtain detailed statistics and dynamics of drop deformation by using microfluidic chanels. We observe that drops submitted to a strong shear go through a shape transition which is associated with the formation of a singular tip and a strong acceleration.",
