On the lack of influence of contact area on the solid-liquid lateral retention force
Rafael de la Madrid, Caleb Gregory, Huy Luong +1
We experimentally show that, unlike the solid-solid frictional force, the solid-liquid retention force is determined by interactions at the triple line rather than over the solid-l…
New insights into the capillary retention force and the work of adhesion
Rafael de la Madrid, Huy Luong, Jacob Zumwalt
We calculate the normal capillary retention force that anchors a drop to a solid surface in the direction perpendicular to the surface, and study the relationship between such forc…
Reply to Comment on "Comparison of the Lateral Retention Forces on Sessile,Pendant, and Inverted Sessile Drops"
Rafael de la Madrid, Fabian Garza, Justin Kirk +4
We address the issues raised in [R. Tadmor et al., Langmuir 2020, 36, 475-476]. In particular, we explain why we did not use Tadmor's theory to explain our results.
Comparison of the lateral retention forces on sessile, pendant, and inverted sessile drops
Rafael de la Madrid, Fabian Garza, Justin Kirk +4
We compare the lateral retention forces on sessile drops (which are drops that are placed on top of a solid surface), pendant drops (which are drops that are placed on the undersid…
