Adhesive bonding theory

Adhesive bonding theory explains how two surfaces are joined using an adhesive, which is a material like glue or glue-like substances. The adhesive works by creating a strong interface between the surfaces through mechanisms like mechanical interlocking, chemical bonding, and intermolecular forces. The effectiveness depends on surface preparation, adhesive properties, and environmental conditions. Proper adhesion ensures the bonded materials act as a unified structure, distributing loads and resisting forces. This theory helps in designing durable bonds in various applications, from everyday household items to critical engineering components, by understanding and optimizing the interactions at the molecular and surface levels.
