Preferred Label : interfacial adhesion;
IUPAC definition : Adhesion in which interfaces between phases or components are maintained by intermolecular
forces, chain entanglements, or both, across the interfaces.;
Scope note : use of the term interfacial energy for interfacial tension is not recommended.; interfacial tension (recommended symbol: ¿,unit: n m
-1 , j m -2 ) is the change in gibbs energy
per unit change in interfacial area for substances in physical contact.; adhesive strength (recommended symbol: fa, unit: n m
-2 ) is the force required to separate one condensed phase domain from another
at the interface between the two phase domains divided by the area of the interface.; interfacial adhesion is also referred to as tack.;
