Requirements for adhesion

Bonding. Surface treatment, such as chemical etch, corona, or flame treatments, is required for adhesive bonding of Tefzel. Polyester and epoxy compounds are suitable adhesives. 

Many of the qualitative adhesion tests vary with plate thickness. As indicated above, adhesion is better for thinner deposits. That, it was stated, has to do with the stress present in deposited films. A specified plating thickness should therefore be a given parameter requirement for adhesion testing. 

The adhesion of cells to each other is normally due to interactions that involve a number of proteins of the extracellular matrix and the plasma membrane. Cadherin is a membrane-boimd protein. The N terminus of cadherin is extracellular. The N termini of cadherins sticking out of adjacent cells bind to each other. This interaction requires calcivun ions, hence the name Cadherin. An intracellular interaction is also required for adhesion to occur between cells. The C terminus of cadherin contacts the cytosol and binds to a protein called catenin (pronounced ca-TEE-nin). Catenin, in turn, binds to the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a network of proteins that crisscross about the plasma membrane and through the cell. Defects in the cadherin gene have been found in many samples of colorectal cancer. These mutations tend to occur in the N-terminal region, i.e., in the extracellular calcium-binding domain. 

The finish of the concrete can be critical. A dense steel troweled finish will not provide the porosity required for adhesion of some of the materials used as membranes. A carpet float finish will provide just about the correct texture. Do not use magnesium floats as this will close the surface and prevent the escape of "bleed" water. Do not use curing compounds or those intended to prevent evaporation of water. These are incompatible with some bedding or membrane materials resulting in very poor adhesion.

The resistivity of the bulk material is at 22 pQ cm, but resistivities measured for TiN films are substantially higher with values in the range of 40 to more than 1000 pQ cm. In this context, it should be mentioned that resistivity requirements for adhesion or barrier layers in VLSI devices should be less than 600 pQ cm [73]. 

Electrically conductive adhesives are being used to interconnect flip-chip devices in smart cards resulting in thinner and smaller structures. Flip-chip silicon devices that have been thinned to several mils may be connected to a substrate with silver-filled paste epoxy or with anisotropic film adhesive instead of solder, then embedded and laminated to form a card that is less than 40-mils thick. Requirements for adhesives used in smart cards, in many respects, are more severe than those for other commercial applications. Besides having to withstand high humidity and temperature extremes, smart cards must take the continued abuse of human handling, repeated bending, exposure to human sweat and salt residues, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. 

In North America the standards ASTM D 2559 and D 3535 give the requirements for adhesive systems used for structural purposes. EPI adhesives formulated for structural purposes meet the requirements in these standards and have the same performance properties as other structural adhesives [1,5]. 

The conclusion from this argument, which was verified by experiment, was that the adhesion force decreases as the wire diameter is reduced. But instead of the force going down with contact area, that is d, it goes with In other words, the stress required for adhesion failure increases for finer wires. The adhesion seems to get stronger with d. Some numbers are plotted in Fig. 13.4 for elastic platinum wires on a silicon substrate.

The first attempts to use wattle tannins in particleboard adhesives (114, 170) followed reports by Dalton (50, 51) on the use of Pinus radiata bark extracts as substitutes for phenol-formaldehyde resins in plywood adhesives. Even though the molecular weight of wattle tannin is comparatively low (208), solutions of bark extracts at solids contents required for adhesives (40%-58%) exhibit excessively high viscosities. High-temperature alkaline treatments reduced their viscosity, and...
