2.8 Adhesion Interactions as a Function of Length Scale

Оглавление

It is useful to know the scale of lengths over which the adhesion interactions as described above do occur (Table 2.2) [21]. It is apparent from Table 2.2 that the adhesive interactions relying on interlocking or entanglement can occur over larger lengths than the adhesion involving charge interactions. Most of the charge interactions occur at the molecular level or the nano-length scale. Electrostatic interactions are the exception to this generalization. For the purpose of adhesive interactions, they are considered to operate from a nano- to a micron-length scale.

Table 2.2 Comparison of adhesion interactions relative to length scale.

Category of adhesion
Mechanism Type of interaction Length scale
Mechanical Interlocking or entanglement 0.01–1000 μm
Diffusion Interlocking or entanglement 10 nm-2 mm
Electrostatic Charge 0.1–1.0 μm
Covalent bonding Charge 0.1–0.2 nm
Acid-base interaction Charge 0.1–0.4 nm
Lifshitz van der Waals Charge 0.5–1.0 nm
