A density functional theory approach to interpret elastowetting of hydrogels
Priyam Chakraborty, Surjyasish Mitra, A-Reum Kim +2
Sessile hydrogel drops on rigid surfaces exhibit wetting/contact morphology intermediate between liquid drops and glass spheres. Using density functional theory, we reveal the cont…

Flexible hydrogels connecting adhesion and wetting
A-Reum Kim, Surjyasish Mitra, Sudip Shyam +2
Raindrops falling on window panes spread upon contact, whereas hail can cause dents or scratches on the same glass window upon contact. While the former phenomenon resembles classi…

Deformation of an elastic body in low Reynolds number transport: Relevance to biofilm deformation and streamer formation
Nikhil Gupta, Siddhartha Das, Sushanta K. Mitra +1
In this paper, we obtain analytical results for shear stress distributions inside an elastic body placed in a low Reynolds number transport. The problem definition is inspired by a…
