Adhesive cohesion

Oilseed proteins are used as food ingredients at concentrations of 1—2% to nearly 100%. At low concentrations, the proteins are added primarily for their functional properties, eg, emulsification, fat absorption, water absorption, texture, dough formation, adhesion, cohesion, elasticity, film formation, and aeration (86) (see Food processing). Because of high protein contents, textured flours and concentrates are used as the principal ingredients of some meat substitutes. 

The viscosity of a fluid is an important property in the analysis of liquid behavior and fluid motion near solid boundaries. Viscosity is the fluid resistance to shear or flow and is a measure of the adhesive/cohesive or frictional fluid property. The resistance is caused by intermolecular friction exerted when layers of fluids attempt to slide by one another. 

PSA compositions must have a good balance of different properties, depending on its specific application. PSAs for adhesive tapes for instance, must have a good adhesion, cohesion, stretchiness and elasticity. Furthermore the base polymers must be elastomers at room temperature [124]. Due to its elastomeric behavior and biodegradability, poly(HAMCL) seems to be a promising base polymer for the development of a completely biodegradable PSA. 

Processes related to y and 0 are adhesion, cohesion and spreading. We consider two phases A and B without specifying their physical state their common interface is AB. We can distinguish the following processes as they affect a unit area using a connotation given by Hiemenz (1986). 

Differentiate between adhesion, cohesion, and spreading, and calcnlate the work associated with all three. 

Intermolecular - properties utilizing the ability of proteins to form junctions of its own molecules to themselves or to other components including viscosity, thickening, gelation, film formation, foaming, fiber formation, adhesion, cohesion, stickiness, hardness, complex formation, spreading, elasticity, and plasticity. 

We have already seen from Example 10.1 that van der Waals forces play a major role in the heat of vaporization of liquids, and it is not surprising, in view of our discussion in Section 10.2 about colloid stability, that they also play a significant part in (or at least influence) a number of macroscopic phenomena such as adhesion, cohesion, self-assembly of surfactants, conformation of biological macromolecules, and formation of biological cells. We see below in this chapter (Section 10.7) some additional examples of the relation between van der Waals forces and macroscopic properties of materials and investigate how, as a consequence, measurements of macroscopic properties could be used to determine the Hamaker constant, a material property that represents the strength of van der Waals attraction (or repulsion see Section 10.8b) between macroscopic bodies. In this section, we present one illustration of the macroscopic implications of van der Waals forces in thermodynamics, namely, the relation between the interaction forces discussed in the previous section and the van der Waals equation of state. In particular, our objective is to relate the molecular van der Waals parameter (e.g., 0n in Equation (33)) to the parameter a that appears in the van der Waals equation of state ...

Cohesives are essentially contact adhesives. Cohesives are water borne products typically formulated with natural rubber latex polymers modified with other polymers such as acrylics and acetate polymers to yield the necessary peel and block resistant properties. Cohesives are used for a wide variety of applications on various paper products and films particularly for confectionery packaging.

Capillary action When water is placed in a narrow container such as a graduated cylinder, you can see that the surface of the water is not straight. The surface forms a concave meniscus that is, the surface dips in the center. Figure 13-15 models what is happening to the water at the molecular level. There are two types of forces at work cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion describes the force of attraction between identical molecules. Adhesion describes the force of attraction between molecules that are different. Because the adhesive forces between water molecules and the sihcon dioxide in glass are greater than the cohesive forces between water molecules, the water rises along the inner walls of the cylinder. 

After the breakage of the test piece, it is not only interesting to know the average peel force for the calculation of the peel ressitance it is just as important to determine the causes of the break in the bonded joint If possible, a fracture analysis is carried out for this purpose by means of a microscope or magnifying glass. There are three different possibilities for fractures adhesion, cohesion or mixed fracture (Figure 10.7). 

By combining Equations (457), (458) and (460), the initial spreading coefficient, S[l2 may be related to the work of adhesion, cohesion and the Gibbs free energy of spreading per unit area ... 

An adhesive-cohesive model for protein compressibility has been proposed by Dadarlat and Post [57]. This model assumes that the compressibility is a competition between adhesive protein-water interactions and cohesive protein-protein interactions. Computer simulations suggest that the intrinsic compressibility largely accounts for the experimental compressibilities indicating that the contribution of hydration water is small. The model also accounts for the correlation between the compressibility of the native state and the change in heat capacity upon unfolding for nine single chain proteins. 

Adhesion-cohesion modifications. While investigating the physical properties modifications that result from exposing photopol merlzable compositions. It was discovered that the adhesion of a photopolymerlzable layer to a continuous film or support could be changed as a consequence of this exposure. This phenomenon Is called "photoadheslon" (23,24).
