Abstract
The transfer ratio of quasi-static liquid transfer was found to strongly depend on the difference between the receding contact angles of the two surfaces. In contrast to traditional thinking, the transfer ratio was quite insensitive to the adhesion force between the solid and the liquid when the liquid bridge broke.
