Capillary interaction of microspheres with pinned boundary conditions: a clarification

It is the aim of this short note to point out that a quadratic contribution in the deviatoric curvature to the capillary interaction of microspheres with pinned contact lines is indeed compatible with the experimental measurements, in contrast to what has been reported in N. Sharifi-Mood, I. B. Liu...

Description
Summary:It is the aim of this short note to point out that a quadratic contribution in the deviatoric curvature to the capillary interaction of microspheres with pinned contact lines is indeed compatible with the experimental measurements, in contrast to what has been reported in N. Sharifi-Mood, I. B. Liu and K. J. Stebe, Soft Matter , 2016, 12 , 333. Fit of the capillary interaction energy of a microsphere floating at a water-oil interface as a function of the deviatoric curvature of the interface.
