Abstract
Tadmor et al.'s 2009 PRL shows experiments of pendant drops with ~30% higher retention forces than their sessile analogues. A recent article (Langmuir. 2019, 35, 2871) explains this result theoretically using a drastically different experimental system that shows ~3% higher force that exceeds the scatter in 3 out of 4 data points. The differences between the two experimental systems might have allowed the two theories to co-exist, but Tadmor's theory, which can explain both, allow understanding of the solid-liquid interaction which the newer theory lacks.
