Elastocapillary adhesion of soft gel microspheres
Joseph N. Headley, Edgar W. Lyons, Mathew Q. Giso +6
Softer means stickier for solid adhesives, because material compliance facilitates close contact between non-conformal surfaces. Recent discoveries have revealed that soft material…
The Physics of Soft Adhesion
Katharine E. Jensen, Chelsea S. Davis
This review provides an introduction to the essential physics of soft adhesion, including the thermodynamics of adhesion and wetting, the mechanics of contact with deformable mater…
Viscoelastic and poroelastic relaxations of soft solid surfaces
Qin Xu, Lawrence A. Wilen, Katharine E. Jensen +2
Understanding surface mechanics of soft solids, such as soft polymeric gels, is crucial in many engineering processes, such as dynamic wetting and adhesive failure. In these situat…
Singular dynamics in the failure of soft adhesive contacts
Justin D. Berman, Manjari Randeria, Robert W. Style +6
We characterize the mechanical recovery of compliant silicone gels following adhesive contact failure. We establish broad, stable adhesive contacts between rigid microspheres and s…
Strain-dependent solid surface stress and the stiffness of soft contacts
Katharine E. Jensen, Robert W. Style, Qin Xu +1
Surface stresses have recently emerged as a key player in the mechanics of highly compliant solids. The classic theories of contact mechanics describe adhesion with a compliant sub…
