the deformation of slender elastic structures by surface tension, governed by an elastocapillary length comparing bending stiffness to capillary force.

In soft matter physics, elastocapillarity refers to the deformation of slender elastic structures by surface tension, governed by an elastocapillary length comparing bending stiffness to capillary force. This meaning comes from Bico (2004) in Nature.[1]
