Capillary fracture of ultrasoft gels: heterogeneity and delayed nucleation
Marion Grzelka, Joshua B. Bostwick, Karen E. Daniels
A droplet of surfactant spreading on an ultrasoft ( Pa) gel substrate will produce capillary fractures at the gel surface; these fractures originate at the contact-…
Elastocapillary deformations on partially-wetting substrates: rival contact-line models
Joshua B. Bostwick, Michael Shearer, Karen E. Daniels
A partially-wetting liquid can deform the underlying elastic substrate upon which it rests. This situation requires the development of theoretical models to describe the wetting fo…
Capillary fracture of soft gels
Joshua B. Bostwick, Karen E. Daniels
A liquid droplet resting on a soft gel substrate can deform that substrate to the point of material failure, whereby fractures develop on the gel surface that propagate outwards fr…
