Description for Molecular Adhesion and Its Applications
Hardback. To understand the strong attractions between earthly matter we must introduce the idea of molecular adhesion; the fact that all molecules attract each other with a considerable force. This book describes the importance of adhesion in our Universe. Num Pages: 429 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PNRC; PNRX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 166 x 242 x 32. Weight in Grams: 858.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, engineers and technologists would have recognized the importance of adhesion in two main aspects: First, in the display of friction between surfaces — at the time a topic of growing importance to engineers; the second in crafts requiring the joining of materials — principally wood—to form engineering structures. While physical scientists would have admitted the adhesive properties of glues, gels, and certain pastes, they regarded them as materials of uncertain formulation, too impure to be amenable to precise experiment. Biological scientists were aware also of adhesive phenomena, but the science was supported by ... Read more
