| contents | This review provides an introduction to the essential physics of soft adhesion, including the thermodynamics of adhesion and wetting, the mechanics of contact with deformable materials, and the material properties that most affect interfacial interactions with soft solid gels and elastomers. Throughout, we emphasize both foundational physics and current experimental and theoretical research in these areas. We conclude with a practical overview of standard experimental test methods for characterizing soft adhesion. The physical understanding developed herein provides the basis for understanding the mechanics of contact with soft materials. |
