Adhesion Mechanics

Adhesion Mechanics is a theoretical framework within nanomechanics that characterizes the physical interactions and forces responsible for surface attachment at nanoscale interfaces, distinguishing itself from other mechanical models by explicitly accounting for intermolecular potentials, surface energy, and contact deformation in the initiation and separation of adhered bodies.
