Adhesion and Adhesives of Fungi and Oomycetes
2006Many fungi adhere strongly to an outer surface of a host or a substratum before penetration; the ability to adhere is a virulence factor for plant and animal pathogens. Because substrata such as the plant cuticle are largely inert hydrophobic surfaces, plant pathogenic fungi often adhere to plastics.

Nanofibrous Adhesion: The Twin of Gecko Adhesion
ACS Nano, 2015Inspired by dusty spider dragline silk, we studied the adhesive interaction between artificial nanofibers and their aerosol surroundings. The nanofibers are found to be able to actively capture particulate matters from the environment, exactly as the spider dragline silk does.

Introduction to adhesion and adhesives
2001Publisher Summary The term “adhesion” is used when referring to the attraction among substances. The level of adhesion forces that are operating across an interface cannot usually be measured by mechanical tests. A fracture-mechanics approach to the failure of adhesive joints has been developed.

Adhesion to Polyolefins with Flexible Adhesives
The Journal of Adhesion, 1981Abstract Compounds based on polyolefins may find further use in the footwear industry as solings. However, a significant problem is the poor adhesion obtained with the urethane adhesives currently used. SATRA has recently attempted to develop practical bonding systems for commercial olefinic compounds.

, 2017 In the globalized mass production economy with a large number of individual consumers, transactions very often take place between parties who are not physically present, such that communication between them turns out impossible or, at least, highly expensive.

Adhesion and Adhesives : Interactions At Interfaces
Journal of Plastic Film & Sheeting, 1981This paper describes some personal ideas concerning adhesion that have evolved over a period of years. Further, by posing several important questions, we shall highlight some current areas of interest in adhesion science: 1. Why do we surface treat polymers in order to join them adhesively? 2.
