The elastocapillary ridge as a non-integer disclination
Résumé
Understanding interfacial properties of solids with their environment is a crucial problem in fundamental science and applications. Elastomers have challenged the scientific community in this respect, and a satisfying description is still missing. Here, we argue that the interfacial properties of elastomers, such as their wettability, can be understood only with a non-linear elastic model with the assumption of strain-independent surface energy. We show that our model captures accurately available data on elastomer wettability and discuss its implications.
