Soft wetting ridge rotation in sessile droplets and capillary bridges
Boxue Zheng, Tak Shing Chan
We study the deformation of soft solid layers in the presence of sessile droplets or capillary bridges. By incorporating the surface tension balance at the contact line, we examine…

Static wetting of a barrel-shaped droplet on a soft-layer-coated fiber
Bo Xue Zheng, Christian Pedersen, Andreas Carlson +1
A droplet can deform a soft substrate due to capillary forces when they are in contact. We study the static deformation of a soft solid layer coated on a rigid cylindrical fiber wh…
