The phrase "adhesion length" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to materials science, engineering, or physics, particularly when discussing the distance over which two surfaces adhere to each other.
Example: "The adhesion length between the two materials was measured to determine the effectiveness of the adhesive used."
Alternatives: "bond length" or "stickiness distance".
The influences of the nano-film's adhesion length, thickness, elastic modulus, roughness and peeling angle on the peeling force were considered as well as the effect of the viscoelastic behavior.
It has been found that the effective adhesion length, at which the peeling force attained maximum, was much smaller than the real length of nano-films; and the shear force dominated in the case of smaller peeling angles, whereas, the normal force dominated at larger peeling angles.
Isoproterenol resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in adhesion length and decreased number of focal adhesions per cell (Fig. 3a, b).
Staining for paxillin, Supplementary Fig. S.1, validated the use of vinculin as a focal adhesion marker, showing similar changes in focal adhesion length independent of marker protein.
The current results show a significant increase in both total numbers of focal adhesions and a decrease in average focal adhesion length on cells cultured on grooved substrates relative to planar controls.
To validate the use of these observations, we also stained for the focal adhesion protein paxillin and found truncation of focal adhesion length independent of the marker used, Supplementary Fig. S.1.
Our previous work using the non-electrospinning Spinneret-based Tunable Engineered Parameters' suspended fibers has revealed that cells are able to sense and respond to changes in fiber curvature and structural stiffness as evidenced by alterations to focal adhesion cluster lengths.
This observation has been explained using the variance of interfacial adhesion and fiber length with the PA 6,6/PP ratio.
We demonstrate that, barring fiber fracture, the fractal gecko hairs can be designed from nanoscale and up to achieve flaw tolerant adhesion at any length scales.
Likewise, TSP50-induced cell adhesion and the length of cell stellate structures in 3D medium were significantly reduced.
Adhesion and rupture length histograms were obtained by recording 32 × 32 force distance curves on areas of 500 × 500 nm on the bacterial pole surface.
