WHAT DOES ADHESION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

adhesion

Adhesion

Process of attachment of a substance to the surface of another substance. Note 1: Adhesion requires energy that can come from chemical and/or physical linkages, the latter being reversible when enough energy is applied. Note 2: In biology, adhesion reflects the behavior of cells shortly after contact to the surface. Note 3: In surgery, adhesion is used when two tissues fuse unexpectedly. Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another. The forces that cause adhesion and cohesion can be divided into several types. The intermolecular forces responsible for the function of various kinds of stickers and sticky tape fall into the categories of chemical adhesion, dispersive adhesion, and diffusive adhesion. In addition to the cumulative magnitudes of these intermolecular forces, there are certain emergent mechanical effects that will also be discussed at the end of the article.

Definition of adhesion in the English dictionary

The first definition of adhesion in the dictionary is the quality or condition of sticking together or holding fast. Other definition of adhesion is ability to make firm contact without skidding or slipping. Adhesion is also attachment or fidelity, as to a political party, cause, etc.
