Textures create an uneven surface which will make it harder for the adhesives to be in contact with the surface thus lowers its wetting ability. [15] Water or moisture of any form will reduce surface adhesion and reduce tape tackiness. Moisture can be removed off the surface by any physical methods or chemical methods too.
Some removable adhesives are designed to repeatedly stick and unstick. They have low adhesion and generally cannot support much weight. Sometimes clean removal of pressure sensitive tape can be difficult without damaging the substrate that it is adhered to. Pulling at a slow rate and with a low angle of peel helps reduce surface damage.
Likewise, contaminants, especially those which, due to their low surface tension, counteract wetting by the adhesive (for example, oils, release agents, etc.) hinder the adhesion interaction. Contaminants form, as it were, a barrier between the adhesive and the substrate which cannot be bridged by the adhesion forces due to their short reach.
Printing quality is highly influenced by the various treatments and methods used in creating paper and enhancing the paper surface. Consumers are most concerned with the paper-ink interactions which vary for certain types of paper due to different chemical properties of the surface. [8] Inkjet paper is the most commercially used type of paper.
To incorporate the effect of adhesion in Hertzian contact, Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts [5] formulated the JKR theory of adhesive contact using a balance between the stored elastic energy and the loss in surface energy. The JKR model considers the effect of contact pressure and adhesion only inside the area of contact.
To fix peeling paint, identify the issue first, then ensure your substrate is prepared properly. Find the Cause Before fixing peeling paint, it's important to understand why your first attempt failed.
Note 1: Adhesion requires energy that can come from chemical and/or physical linkages, the latter being reversible when enough energy is applied. Note 2: In biology, adhesion reflects the behavior of cells shortly after contact to the surface. Note 3: In surgery, adhesion is used when two tissues fuse unexpectedly. [1]
In adhesion tests per ASTM D4541, in which an aluminum stud is bonded to the test surface and the stud is pulled in the direction normal to the surface, both surfaces of the failure interface were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). F/C ratio was used as an indicator of the failure mode: F/C of zero corresponds to failure in the ...
