Abstract: We study the influence of surface roughness on the adhesion between elastic solids. We present experimental data for the force necessary to pull off rubber balls from hard rough substrates. We show that the effective adhesion (or the pull-off force) can be calculated accurately from the surface roughness power spectra obtained from the measured surface height profile.
