Abstract
Experimental data [10, 45] show that the forces of adhesion in air are several orders higher than those in a liquid medium. This difference is particularly noticeable for particles of small dimensions. Thus, in order to detach 50% of spherical glass particles 5–10 μ in diameter from a steel surface in air, it is necessary to apply a force of the order of 10-2 dyn, whereas, in water, less than 10-6 dyn suffices.
