FAQ

What is the Surface Stress?
The Surface Stress is the amount of reversible work per unit area needed to elastically stretch a pre-existing surface. Surface Stress is usually measured using the Joule per Square Meter for Specific Surface Energy. Note that the value of Surface Stress is always positive.
Can the Surface Stress be negative?
No, the Surface Stress, measured in Specific Surface Energy cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Surface Stress?
Surface Stress is usually measured using the Joule per Square Meter[J/m²] for Specific Surface Energy. are the few other units in which Surface Stress can be measured.
