Terminology of matter and adhesion
Question | Answer |
---|---|
A material substrate that is bonded to another material by means of an adhesive | Adherend |
A molecular or atomic attraction between two contacting surfaces promoted by the interfacial force of attraction between the molecules or atoms of two different species | Adhesion |
Substance that promotes adhesion of one substance or material to another | Adhesive |
Process of joining two materials by means of an adhesive agent that solidifies during the bonding process | Adhesive bonding |
Force of molecular attraction between molecules or atoms of the same species | Cohesion |
Angle of intersection between a liquid and a surface of a solid that is used as a measure of wettability, whereby no wetting occurs at a contact angle of ___A___° and complete wetting occurs at an angle of ___B___° | Contact angle; A=180; B=0 |
Proportionality constant representing the amount of a substance diffusing through a unit area and a unit thickness under the influence of a unit concentration gradient at a given temperature | Diffusion coefficient |
Temperature at which a sharp increase in the thermal expansion coefficient occurs, indicating increased molecular mobility | Glass transition temperature |
Thermal energy required to convert a solid to a vapor | Heat of vaporization |
Thermal energy required to convert a solid to a liquid | Latent heat of fusion |
Relative linear change in length per unit of initial length during heating of a solid per °K within a specified temperature range | Linear coefficient of expansion |
Equilibrium temperature at which heating of a pure metal, compound, or eutectic alloy produces a change from a solid to liquid | Melting temperature (melting point) |
Mechanical adhesion associated with bonding of an adhesive to a roughened adherend surface | Micromechanical bonding |
Tenacious deposit of microscopic debris that covers enamel and dentin surfaces that have been prepared for a restoration | Smear layer |
Interfacial tension, usually between a liquid and a solid surface, which occurs because of unbalanced intermolecular forces | Surface tension |
Relative affinity of a liquid for the surface of a solid | Wettability |
Relative interfacial tension between a liquid and a solid substrate that results in a contact angle of less than 90° | Wetting |
Short-range force of physical attraction that promotes adhesion between molecules of liquids or molecular crystals | van der Waals forces |
