Surface energy of strained amorphous solids

Whether or not amorphous solids exhibit strain-dependent surface energies, like those of crystalline materials, is still a matter of debate. Here, Schulman et al. monitor the contact angle of droplets on strained polymeric glasses and elastomers, which directly probes energy variation at the interfa...
