title = "Solid-Liquid Work of Adhesion",
abstract = "We establish a tool for direct measurements of the work needed to separate a liquid from a solid. This method mimics a pendant drop that is subjected to a gravitational force that is slowly increasing until the solid-liquid contact area starts to shrink spontaneously. The work of separation is then calculated in analogy to Tate{\textquoteright}s law. The values obtained for the work of separation are independent of drop size and are in agreement with Dupr{\'e}{\textquoteright}s theory, showing that they are equal to the work of adhesion.",
