Adhesion: molecules and mechanics.

K Kendall

    Science (New York, N.Y.)
    |March 25, 1994

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Understanding adhesion requires distinguishing molecular forces from engineering applications. This study evaluates mechanisms like hysteresis and clustering, proposing a theory based on reversible work of adhesion and interface restructuring energy.

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Surface Science
    • Engineering Physics

    Background:

    • Adhesion phenomena are observed at both molecular and macroscopic engineering scales.
    • A gap exists in explaining the relationship between molecular attractions and measurable mechanical properties.
    • Prevailing explanations like 'keying' and 'gluing' are insufficient and conceptually flawed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically assess common misconceptions in adhesion science.
    • To evaluate specific mechanisms contributing to adhesion, including hysteresis, stringing, and clustering.
    • To propose a rational theoretical framework for understanding adhesion.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical analysis of molecular interactions and macroscopic adhesion.
    • Critical evaluation of existing adhesion models and concepts.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Formulation of a new theoretical approach based on energy principles.

    • Main Results:

    • Distinguishes clearly between molecular-level adhesion and engineering adhesion.
    • Identifies and evaluates key mechanisms like adhesive hysteresis, stringing, and clustering.
    • Proposes a theoretical framework rooted in reversible work of adhesion and interface restructuring energy.

    Conclusions:

    • A clear distinction between molecular and engineering adhesion is crucial.
    • Mechanisms like hysteresis, stringing, and clustering are vital for a comprehensive understanding.
    • A new theory based on reversible work of adhesion and interface energy offers a more rational explanation.
