Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 936–939 (1999)Theory of Tackiness
We show that the interplay between surface roughness on micron scale and air suction can yield tack energies much higher than thermodynamic surface energies. Our model provides a quantitative interpretation of highly nonlinear force-versus-separation curves which are usually observed when adhesion forces and energies are high. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
