CHAPTER ONE
1.1. Adhesion and Adhesion Theory
Presented by Shrikant Athavale
For PG Students , SIES Nerul
On 09-10-2010
Adhesion
is a attraction process between dissimilar surfaces that stick to one another
and cohesion takes place between similar molecules.
(cohesion refers to the tendency of similar or identical particles/surfaces to stick to one another).
The forces that cause adhesion and cohesion can be divided into several different types.
Mechanisms of adhesion

The most important theories of adhesion are

1. Physical absorption,
2. Chemical bonding,
3. Diffusion,
4. Electrostatic,
5. Mechanical interlocking and
As all adhesive bonds involve molecules in intimate contact, physical adsorption must always contribute.

1. 2. Polymers used for the Manufacture of Adhesives
Adhesive Raw Material Types
Natural
Starch and dextrin
These materials are derived from cereals or roots such as corn, wheat, tapioca, sago, etc. The
basic constituent is polysaccharide which on hydrolysis yields long chain glucose units.
Variations can occur with the use of different food materials and with changes in hydrolysis
methods.
The main use for these adhesives is the paper industry where they are used in multiwall bags,
corrugated paper etc. Dextrin which is dry roasted starch is used in remoistenable adhesives.
Gelatine (animal, fish, vegetable glues)
There is a wide range of products included in this overall category. Generally they are all
proteins which are derived from the hydrolysis of either collagen or soya flour, or by
separating casein from skim milk.

1.3. Adhesive Types
Adhesives are typically organized by the method of adhesion. These are then organized into reactive and non-
reactive adhesives, which refers to if the adhesive chemically reacts to harden. Alternatively they can be
organized by whether the raw stock is of natural, or synthetic origin, or by their starting physical phase.
The Adhesives can be broadly divided into two classes
Non-reactive adhesives
And
Reactive Adhesives
Natural adhesives
are made from organic sources such as vegetable matter, starch (dextrin), natural resins or
from animals e.g. casein or animal glue.
They are often referred to as bio adhesives.
One example is a simple paste made by cooking flour in water.
Animal glues are traditionally used in bookbinding, wood joining, and many other areas but now are largely
replaced by synthetic glues.
Casein are mainly used in glass bottle labeling.
Starch based adhesives are used in corrugated board production and paper sack production, paper tube winding,
wall paper adhesives.

Adhesion :
Cohesive strength or
Shear resistance.
The internal or cohesive strength of an adhesive film is known as shear. This is not a measure of the bond
between the adhesive and a substrate, but rather a measure of the internal strength of the adhesive itself. Shear
properties are typically quantified using the static shear test method
The adhesive plays a very crucial role in terms of performance of the product. The real technology lies in
striking a balance of the three main properties of adhesive , like the Peel strength , the tack and the shear
strength.

CHAPTER TWO
2.1.Types of Polymers or Elastomers
Elastomer is a Polymer with viscosity Elasticity. Typically they have low Young's modulus .
More commonly they are called as Rubber. Here each monomer , that is made of carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
and / or Silicone , is linked to form a Polymer.
 At ambient temperature, these rubbers are generally soft and deformable , but above their glass transition
temperature , they turn amorphous , and considerable segmental movement is hence possible.
The elastomers are mainly used for seals and adhesive manufacturing.
