A Fundamental Approach to Adhesion: Synthesis, Surface Analysis, Thermodynamics and Mechanics.

Abstract

This report is the fifth of a series of studies on new adhesives, adherends, and interfaces of importance to NASA. Our experimental program mainly employs modern surface analysis techniques to characterize the physical structures and chemical constituents of surfaces before and after bonding and fracture. Table I summarizes the principal areas of effort overall. Two publications submitted during the current grant period are included in the Appendix. (MM)
