The work required to achieve, in an isothermal, isobaric and reversible manner, a separation at the interface between two phases(liquid/solid) with the formation of a new free liquid surface of the same dimensions as the initial interface, is reflected in an increase in the free energy of the system.... It is the sum of the free energy of wetting and the free surface energy. It is expressed in ergs. [Definition standardized by ISO. ] 2, record 2, English, - free%20energy%20of%20adhesion
