Areas of science and technology

Adhesion can be defined as “bonding more than two materials so that they behave as a single component against external stimuli.” The fundamental mechanism of bonding and application development are the focus of adhesion science and technology.Adhesives are liquid, whereas adherends are solids. As a result, solid-state, liquid-state, and interface properties of materials must be understood. Relevant research areas include polymer chemistry, physical chemistry, and interfacial chemistry.Aerospace engineering, automobiles, bridges, houses, agriculture, medical industries, electrical engineering, and packaging sciences are just a few of the fields where adhesion is used.As a result, adhesion science and technology encompass a wide range of fundamental sciences as well as a broad range of applications.
