Distinguishing deformation mechanisms in elastocapillary experiments
Soft Matter, 15(46), 9426–9436.
TL;DR:
This paper derives a model capable of explaining the observed data and uses it to determine the force law at the three-phase contact line, and shows that the measured forces are consistent with the expected Young-Dupré equation.

Soft materials are known to deform due to a variety of mechanisms, including capillarity, buoyancy, and swelling. The choice of liquid plays a significant role in the outcome of experiments.
