Soft Materials at surfaces and interfaces: Elastocapillarity
Event Start:
2018-11-08T16:00:00
Event End:
2018-11-08T17:00:00
Event Information:
The physics of soft materials is distinct from hard matter, as the weaker intermolecular bonds can result in a large response to external stresses. In recent years, there has been a significant interest in understanding the interaction between a liquid’s surface tension and a solid’s elasticity: elastocapillarity. In particular, liquids can generate significant deformations of highly compliant materials.
