The system has—in contrast to other switchable adhesives three adhesive states, namely low adhesion at low preload, high adhesion at medium preload, and very low adhesion at high preload.
His research on fixing tread problems in tires, "Improving Adhesion at Polystyrene and Polymethyl Methacrylate Interfaces Containing Fillers," included work for Exxon Mobil and led to a patent for chemical mixtures that prevent tread separation.
Thermoplastics provide strong, durable adhesion at normal temperatures, and they can be softened for application by heating without undergoing degradation.
Another strategy is to add block or graft copolymers formed from monomers of the immiscible polymers in order to improve adhesion at the boundaries between the polymer phases.
The goal is to achieve maximum coefficient of adhesion at high-speed insertion.
Strong adhesion at the interface area facilitated greater load transfer and thus, increased the stress transmissibility.
However, the adhesion at the unloading period decreased with increasing taper angle.
Surface energy did not affect initial cell adhesion at 8 h.
Cyclic shear increased the apparent adhesion at the interface and intensified the soil dilatancy.
The boundary condition (4.3) describes the adhesion at the boundary of the domain Ω for (v_{0} = 0).
One patient who underwent a second laparotomy had no adhesion at the site of placement of Seprafilm.
