What is Understanding Surface Stress and Energy about?
Surface stress was first defined by Josiah Willard Gibbs as the reversible work per unit area required to elastically stretch a pre-existing surface. A suggestion is made to define surface stress as the reversible work associated with stretching a pre-existing surface, rather than the original definition. Surface stress and surface free energy, which represents the excess free energy needed to create a new surface, are easily confused, although they represent different concepts for solid interfaces versus l
