Adhesion
Term: Adhesion
Category: Functional Property
Definition: Adhesion refers to the interaction between two different materials that causes them to stick together, forming a bond. This bond can be physical, chemical, or mechanical in nature and depends on the properties of both the adhesive material and the substrate to which it is applied. This property is important in various fields, such as biomedical devices, coatings, and manufacturing processes, where materials must stick together reliably and durably.
