Contact lines on stretched soft solids: Modeling anisotropic surface stresses
Stefanie Heyden, Nicolas Bain, Qin Xu +2
We present fully analytical solutions for the deformation of a stretched soft substrate due to the static wetting of a large liquid droplet, and compare our solutions to recently p…
Droplets sit and slide anisotropically on soft, stretched substrates
Katrina Smith-Mannschott, Qin Xu, Stefanie Heyden +3
Anisotropically wetting substrates enable useful control of droplet behavior across a range of applications. Usually, these involve chemically or physically patterning the substrat…
Viscoelastic and poroelastic relaxations of soft solid surfaces
Qin Xu, Lawrence A. Wilen, Katharine E. Jensen +2
Understanding surface mechanics of soft solids, such as soft polymeric gels, is crucial in many engineering processes, such as dynamic wetting and adhesive failure. In these situat…
