interfacial adhesion
1adhesion — 1) the attractive force between adjacent surfaces in a frictional contact; 2) the state in which two surfaces are held together by interfacial forces …
2Metal oxide adhesion — The strength of metal oxide adhesion effectively determines the wetting of the metal oxide interface. The strength of this adhesion is important, for instance, in production of light bulbs and fiber matrix composites that depend on the… …
3industrial polymers, chemistry of — Introduction structure and composition of chemical compounds made up of long, chainlike molecules (molecule). What distinguishes polymers from other types of compounds is the extremely large size of the molecules. The size of a… …
4Nanocomposite — A nanocomposite is as a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures having nano scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the… …
5Adhesive — Glue redirects here. For other uses, see Glue (disambiguation). For the band, see Adhesive (band). Nitrocellulose adhesive outside a tube An adhesive, or glue, is a mixture in a liquid or semi liquid state that adheres or bonds items together.… …
6Goniometer — For other uses, see Goniometer (disambiguation). Goniometer made by Develey le Jeune in Lausanne, late 18th–early 19th century …
7Contact angle — Cloth, treated to be hydrophobic, shows a high contact angle. The contact angle is the angle at which a liquid/vapor interface meets a solid surface. The contact angle is specific for any given system and is determined by the interactions across …

9Nerve guidance conduit — A nerve guidance conduit (also referred to as an artificial nerve conduit or artificial nerve graft, as opposed to an autograft) is an artificial means of guiding axonal regrowth to facilitate nerve regeneration and is one of several clinical… …
10Surface energy — [ Contact angle measurements can be used to determine the surface energy of a material. Here, a drop of water on glass.] Surface energy quantifies the disruption of intermolecular bonds that occurs when a surface is created. In the physics of… …
