This book describes how surface tension effects can be used by
engineers to provide mechanical functions in miniaturized products
(<1 mm). Even if precursors of this field such as Jurin or
Laplace already date back to the 18th century, describing surface
tension effects from a mechanical perspective is very recent. The
originality of this book is to consider the effects of capillary
bridges on solids, including forces and torques exerted both
statically and dynamically by the liquid along the 6
degrees-of-freedom. It provides a comprehensive approach to various
applications, such as capillary adhesion (axial force), centering
force in packaging and micro-assembly (lateral force) and
recent developments such as a capillary motor (torque). It devises
how surface tension can be used to provide mechanical functions
such as actuation (bubble-actuated compliant table), sealing and
tightness, energy harvesting, nanodispending.
