Title	"Stick-slip Dynamics for Unsteady Wetting on Soft Solids" ＜Abstract＞ In this talk, I will discuss studies for unsteady spreading of liquids on soft solids, a situation in which liquid spreading and solid deformation occur spontaneously at the three-phase contact line (CL). I show that stick-slip results from a competition between liquid spreading rate and solid viscoelastic reacting rate. I demonstrate that this CL behavior can be described and controlled by　considering　growing deformation of soft solids as dynamic surface heterogeneities. This may provide an understanding of unsteady wetting phenomena that have broad applicability in additive manufacturing, fabrication of flexible electronics, and biomedicine.
