✦ Synopsis

The measured adhesion force arising from the Laplace presswe in CapiIIary condensed liquid between two cwed molccuIarly smooth surfaces is well described by the Gibbs-Kelvin equation of cMsical thermodynamics fur Iiquid hydrocarbons with meniscus radii down to OS-LO nm. The corresponding limit for liquid water is much higher. about S nm.
