Contact angle, adhesion and friction properties of micro-and nanopatterned polymers for superhydrophobicity (2006, methodology): “The adhesive force was measured using the single point measurement of a force calibration plot (Bhushan 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005).”
Natural and biomimetic artificial surfaces for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, low adhesion, and drag reduction (2011, background): “When liquid comes in contact with a surface, the energy gained for surfaces coming into contact is greater than the energy required for their separation (or the work of adhesion) by the quantity DW, which constitutes the adhesion hysteresis [18].”
Micro-, nano- and hierarchical structures for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning and low adhesion (2009, background): “Condensation of water vapour from the environment and/or process liquid film can form menisci, leading to high adhesion in devices requiring relative motion (Bhushan 2002, 2003, 2008; figure 1).”
Micro- and nanoscale characterization of hydrophobic and hydrophilic leaf surfaces (2006, methodology): “Adhesive force was measured using the single point measurement of a force calibration plot (Bhushan 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005).”
Roughness-induced superhydrophobicity: a way to design non-adhesive surfaces (2008, background): “As stated earlier, when two solids come in contact in the presence of a wetting liquid, a meniscus is often formed (Bhushan 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005).”
