Book excerpt: The objective was to ascertain the magnitude of forces responsible for coherency of rock by quantifying the strength of the attractive forces operating between minerals in rock. These forces oppose stresses set up in various rock gragmentation processes, hence strength measurements of these forces might prove useful in designing more efficient rock fragmentation methods. Methods were developed for estimating strength of intergranular adhesion in rock. Examination of bicrystals broken at the crystalline interfaces reveals that bonds responsible for this adhesion operate only over a portion of the interfacial area. This work demonstrated that strength tests can be conducted on small selected areas, i.e., grain boundaries in rock. This permits a determination of small scale zones of strength or weakness which may be related to the overall strength of the rock.

Book excerpt: A direct method has been developed for estimating the strength of intergranular adhesion in rock. It involves the separation of a bicrystal from the rock and a determination of the tensile strength at the solid-solid interface. This technique has been successfully applied to the study of quartz-feldspar interfaces separated from pegmatites, graphic granite, and the Rockville granite yielding average tensile strengths of 5.86, 8.62, and 10.65 MN/msq (850, 1,250, and 1,524 psi) respectively. The data generated by this technique indicate that the members of these bicrystals are strongly adhernet. Examination of bicrystals broken at the crystalline interfaces indicates that the bonds responsible for this adhesion operate only over a protion of the interfacial area. The significance of this work is that it demonstrates that tensile strength tests can be conducted on small selected areas, e.g. grain boundaries in rock. This permits a determination of small scale zones of strength or weakness which may be related to the overall strength of the rock. Selected area microindentation hardness testing has also been performed to probe hardness variations near phase boundaries.

Download or read book Adhesion Science written by Steven Abbott and published by DEStech Publications, Inc. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explains the physics and chemistry of adhesion, surface preparation and testsPresents new strategies for formulating superior strong, weak and pressure-sensitive adhesivesIncludes access to unique electronic apps that enable numerical modeling of adhesives This technical bound book explains the basic principles of adhesion and shows how they are used to formulate and improve adhesives. The volume starts by laying out key physical and chemical concepts underlying adhesion and adhesives, including strong and weak bonds plus pressure-sensitive (PSA) across multiple polymer, metal and ceramic adherends. The ideas are expressed in clear and easily understood mathematical formulas that explain surface properties as well as "good" and "bad" adhesion, with the latter covering multiple types of adhesive failure. In this context, the book presents a detailed explanation of methods to predict, test and formulate adhesives and critically analyzes test results and traditionally accepted rules for adhesive formulation. The eBook version includes online access to a unique set of applied computer programs or "apps" that automate a wide range of adhesive formulas and enable readers to input their own data and numerically model adhesion properties in conjunction with, or prior to, chemical compounding and empirical testing. This volume constitutes a lucid and practical introduction to adhesion and adhesives appropriate for specialists at all levels.

This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, engineers and technologists would have recognized the importance of adhesion in two main aspects: First, in the display of friction between surfaces — at the time a topic of growing importance to engineers; the second in crafts requiring the joining of materials — principally wood—to form engineering structures. While physical scientists would have admitted the adhesive properties of glues, gels, and certain pastes, they regarded them as materials of uncertain formulation, too impure to be amenable to precise experiment. Biological scientists were aware also of adhesive phenomena, but the science was supported by documentation rather than understanding. By the end of the century, adhesion and adhesives were playing a crucial and deliberate role in the formulation of materials, in the design and manufacture of engineering structures without weakening rivets or pins, and in the use of thin sections and intricate shapes. Miniaturization down to the micro- and now to the nano-level of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and optical devices relied heavily on the understanding and the technology of adhesion. For most of the century, physical scientists were aware that the states of matter, whether gas, liquid, or solid, were determined by the competition between thermal energy and int- molecular binding forces. Then the solid state had to be differentiated into crystals, amorphous glasses, metals, etc. , so the importance of the molecular attractions in determining stiffness and strength became clearer.

Download or read book Cell Adhesion written by Mary C. Beckerle and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cell adhesion plays a central role in development and disease. Cell adhesion to particular ligands can affect cytoskeletal organization and cell polarity, cell proliferation, and gene expression. This book is divided into two parts. The first section provides a discussion of the structure and function of the seven major classes of cell adhesion molecules: integrins, cadherins, selectins, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, the immunoglobulin superfamily, the ADAMs proteins, and transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatases. The roles of these cell adhesion proteins in important processes such as cell mediated immunity, development and disease are discussed. In the second section, the molecular organization and function of junctional complexes, regions of the cell surface that are highly specialized for cell adhesion, are examined. Junctional complexes are now known to mediate adhesive interactions and contribute to transmembrane signaling events that dramatically influence cell behaviour. The biochemical organization of the adhesive membranes and the molecular mechanisms by which they transmit information to the cell are addressed. Written by contributors among the most prominent in the field, Cell Adhesion covers a wide range of topics in a single volume. It will be a great resource for students, teachers and researchers.
