The capillary adhesion technique: a versatile method for determining the liquid adhesion force and sample stiffness
We report a novel, practical technique for the concerted, simultaneous determination of both the adhesion force of a small structure or structural unit (e.g., an individual filament, hair, micromechanical component or microsensor) to a liquid and its elastic properties. The method involves the creat...
