TLDR
In this article, it was shown that despite the van der Waals' forces being capable of increasing the elastic contact area between the ball and the plane, the force that is required to overcome the molecular forces arising when the contact is broken does not increase thereby.

The Effect of Atomic-Scale Roughness on the Adhesion of Nanoscale Asperities: A Combined Simulation and Experimental Investigation

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of atomic-scale roughness on adhesion between carbon-based materials is examined by both simulations and experimental techniques, and the dependence of adhesion upon roughness is accurately described using a simple analytical model.

Thermal corrections to the Casimir effect

TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out that no temperature dependence has yet been detected, and that the experimental situation is still too fluid to permit conclusions about thermal corrections to the Casimir effect.

Adhesion, slip, cohesive zones and energy fluxes for elastic spheres in contact

TL;DR: In this article, the energy fluxes upon shrinkage of the contact area are calculated for a pair of spheres in adhesion and various notions of energy release rate are introduced and analyzed for correlating the external work parameters and the work of adhesion.

The London—van der Waals attraction between spherical particles

TL;DR: In this article, the London-v.d. interaction between two spherical particles is computed as a function of the diameters and the distance separating them, and a table is calculated which enables numerical application of the formulae derived.

LXXIX. The cohesive force between solid surfaces and the surface energy of solids

TL;DR: In this paper, an expression for the cohesive force between two unequal spheres in geometrical contact is derived and the surface energy of the solid may be computed from the constant in this expression.
