Universal deformation of soft substrates near a contact line and the direct measurement of solid surface stresses
Robert W. Style, Yonglu Che, John. S. Wettlaufer +2
Droplets deform soft substrates near their contact lines. Using confocal microscopy, we measure the deformation of silicone gel substrates due to glycerol and fluorinated-oil dropl…

Static wetting on deformable substrates, from liquids to soft solids
Robert W. Style, Eric R. Dufresne
Young's law fails on soft solid and liquid substrates where there are substantial deformations near the contact line. On liquid substrates, this is captured by Neumann's classic an…
