Combination of Eq. 7 or Eq. 8 with the Young-Dupre equation, Eq. 3, suggests that the mechanical work of separation (and perhaps also the mechanical adhesive interface strength) should be proportional to (I -fcos6l) in any series of tests where other factors are kept constant, and in which the contact angle is finite. This has indeed often been found to be the case, as documented in an extensive review by Mittal [31], from which a few results are shown in Fig. 5. Other important studies have also shown a direct relationship between practical and thermodynamic adhesion, but a discussion of these will be deferred until later. It would appear that a useful criterion for maximizing practical adhesion would be the maximization of the thermodynamic work of adhesion, but this turns out to be a serious over-simplification. There are numerous instances in which practical adhesion is found not to correlate with the work of adhesion at ail, and sometimes to correlate inversely with it. There are various explanations for such discrepancies, as discussed below.
