Importance of Particle Adhesion

  1. Technologically important
    1. Semiconductor fabrication
    2. Electrophotography
    3. Pharmaceuticals
    4. Paint
    5. Agriculture
    6. Aeronautics and space
    7. etc.
  2. Fundamentally important
    1. Avoids confounding interactions (gravity, applied loads, etc.
    2. Allows thermodynamic parameters such as work of adhesion to be determined.
    3. Allows present understanding of adhesion to betested.
