Why is surface tension a force parallel to the interface?
Antonin Marchand, Joost H. Weijs, Jacco H. Snoeijer +1
A paperclip can float on water. Drops of mercury refuse to spread on a surface. These capillary phenomena are macroscopic manifestations of molecular interactions, and can be expla…
Contact angles on a soft solid: from Young's law to Neumann's law
Antonin Marchand, Siddhartha Das, Jacco H. Snoeijer +1
The contact angle that a liquid drop makes on a soft substrate does not obey the classical Young's relation, since the solid is deformed elastically by the action of the capillary…
Capillary Pressure and Contact Line Force on a Soft Solid
Antonin Marchand, Siddhartha Das, Jacco H. Snoeijer +1
The surface free energy, or surface tension, of a liquid interface gives rise to a pressure jump when the interface is curved. Here we show that a similar capillary pressure arises…
