Adhesion

Adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar molecules to cling together due to attractive forces. In contrast, cohesion takes place between similar molecules. Five mechanisms of adhesion have been proposed to explain why one material sticks to another. Mechanical adhesion. Chemical adhesion. Dispersive adhesion. In surface science, the term "adhesion" almost always refers to dispersive adhesion. In a typical solid-liquid-gas system (such as a drop of liquid on a solid surrounded by air) the contact angle is used to quantify adhesiveness. Electrostatic adhesion. Diffusive adhesion.
