Binding cohesion

These observations indicate that fission of metal clusters occurs when the repulsive Coulomb forces due to the accumulation of the excess charges overcome the electronic binding (cohesion) of the cluster. This reminds us immediately of the well-studied nuclear fission phenomenon and the celebrated liquid drop model (LDM) according to which the binding nuclear forces are expressed as a sum of volume and surface terms, and the balance between the Coulomb repulsion and the increase in surface area upon volume-conserving deformations allows for an estimate of the stability and fissility of the nucleus [12, 13]. 

In the limit of high viscosity, immobile liquid bridges formed from materials such as asphalt or pitch fail by tearing apart the weakest bond. Then adhesion and/or cohesion forces are Lilly exploited, and binding ability is much larger. 

Cohesion Forces binding or holding a single material together. 

We will limit ourselves here to transition metals. It is well known that in these metals, the cohesive properties are largely dominated by the valence d electrons, and consequently, sp electrons can be neglected save for the elements with an almost empty or filled d valence shelP. Since the valence d atomic orbitals are rather localized, the d electronic states in the solid are well described in the tight-binding approximation. In this approximation, the cohesive energy of a bulk crystal is usually written as ...

Loss of sister chromatid cohesion would therefore be sufficient for the sudden movement of chromatids to opposite poles at the metaphase to anaphase transition. According to this hypothesis, a specific apparatus binds chromatids together during replication, holds them in an orientation that facilitates the attachment of sister kinetochores to spindles extending to opposite poles, and resists the splitting force that results from this bipolar attachment to the spindle. Destruction of this specialized cohesive structure triggers movement of chromatids to opposite poles at the onset of anaphase. 

Practically all the inorganic building cements, such as mud, lime, and gypsum cement, are prepared as mixtures of at least three components a binder, a filler, and a medium, the latter always water. The binder (or binding material) is a substance that acts cohesively, adheres to surfaces and, when... 

Nonwovens are textile products that are manufactured directly from fibers. They are defined as a manufactured sheet, web, or matt of directionally or randomly oriented fibers, bonded by friction, and/or cohesion, and/or adhesion excluding paper and products which are woven, tufted, stichbounded incorporating binding yams or filaments, or felted by wetmilling whether or not additionally needed. The fibers may be of natural or manmade origin. They may be staple or continuous filaments or maybe formed in situ. ... 

Overlap between p orbitals leads to cohesive energies of typically less than 0.4 eV molec The much stronger ionic and covalent bonding have binding energies of 10 and 3 eV atom respectively. Finally, physisorption is the weakest form of absorption to a solid surface characterized by a lack of a true chemical bond (chemisorption) between substrate and adsorbate and will be discussed in Chapter 4 (see e.g., Zangwill, 1988).
