Surface Chemical Criteria for Maximum Adhesion and Their Verification Against the Experimentally Measured Adhesive Strength Values

  • Chapter
Adhesion Science and Technology

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 9))

Abstract

Different surface-chemical criteria -- thermo-dynamic work of adhesion, interfacial tension, penetration, compatibility, and spreading co-efficient -- which are relevant to the adhesive strengths between the adhesives and low-energy substrates are discussed. The conditions optimizing these criteria are elaborated. Subsequently, predictions from these criteria are tested against the available adhesive strength values. In the case of incomplete wetting (θ>0°), there is an apparent direct correlation between the work of adhesion and the reported adhesive strengths; but such relationship is not valid when the adhesive completely wets the substrates. A careful analysis of the existing literature has revealed that the interfacial tension is the most important surface energetic parameter -- both in incomplete and complete wetting situations -- in determining the adhesive strengths. The lower the interfacial tension, the higher the adhesive strength. Various forms of γc’ s and their relationship to the surface free energies of substrates is discussed.
