From nanoscale to macroscale, using the atomic force microscope to quantify the role of few-asperity contacts in adhesion
The surface roughness of a few asperities and their influence on the work of adhesion is of scientific interest. Macroscale and nanoscale adhesion data have given seemingly inconsistent results. Despite the importance of bridging the gap between the two regimes, little experimental work has been don...
