Adhesion Flashcards
the bond fails at the interface between 2 surfaces
adhesive failure
for adhesive failure, the bulk of adhesive retained on -
only one surface
the bond fails within one of the substrates but not at the interface
cohesive
for cohesive failure, the adhesive is retained on –
both surfaces
angle formed when a drop of liquid is placed on a solid surface
contact angle
contact angle is a useful measure of – of solids by liquids
wettability
low contact angle (< 90)
good wetting
high contact angle (> 90)
poor wetting
adherend – energy
surface
high surface energy – attachment
good
low surface energy or – is poor attachment
contaminated
examples of high surface energy
metals, oxides
examples of low surface energy
wax, Teflon
forces of physical adhesion
secondary interatomic/intermolecular forces
weak, short range forces
secondary interatomic or intermolecular forces in physical adhesion
