Evaporation of a drop, though a simple everyday observation, provides a fascinating subject
for study. Various issues interact here, such as dynamics of the contact line, evaporation …

It is widely appreciated that surface tension can dominate the behavior of liquids at small
scales. Solids also have surface stresses of a similar magnitude, but they are usually …

A sessile drop is an isolated drop which has been deposited on a solid substrate where the
wetted area is limited by the three-phase contact line and characterized by contact angle …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

Adherent cells, crawling slugs, peeling paint, sessile liquid drops, bearings and many other
living and non-living systems apply forces to solid substrates. Traction force microscopy …

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 …

Droplet impact dynamics is an interfacial phenomenon that is shown everywhere in nature
and is the underlying of numerous technological applications including bio-printing, tissue …

Although negligible at macroscopic scales, capillary forces become dominant as the sub-
millimetric scales of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are considered. We review …

A paperclip can float on water. Drops of mercury do not spread on a surface. These capillary
phenomena are macroscopic manifestations of molecular interactions and can be explained …

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 analysis …
