adhezj
Adhezj is a term encountered in technical literature to denote adhesion—the tendency of different materials to cling to each other at an interface. Depending on the field, adhezj may refer to the formation of a bond between an adhesive and a substrate, the integrity of a coated surface, or the general interfacial forces that resist separation. In materials science, adhesion is distinguished from cohesion: adhesion refers to bonding at interfaces, while cohesion refers to internal bonding within a material.
Adhezj results from three main mechanisms: mechanical interlocking, chemical bonding (ionic, covalent, hydrogen), and physical forces
Assessment of adhezj typically involves mechanical tests such as peel tests (delamination at the interface), tensile
Applications of adhezj span many industries. They include adhesives and sealants for construction, packaging, and electronics;
