Effect of Interfacial Slippage on Viscoelastic Adhesion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peeling of a viscoelastic adhesive from a solid substrate poses a wonderful problem of polymer flow. When the adhesive is peeled, it is also stretched in a direction normal to the substrate. The concomitant Poisson contraction creates a pressure gradient and thus induces a shear flow in the adhesive close to the delamination front. Earlier it was pointed out that the strength of viscoelastic adhesion would decrease if the shear stress in the adhesive is relaxed by a slip process at the interface. Herewe report experimental results which confirm that viscoelastic adhesives do indeed slip on segmentally mobile organic surfaces at and near the crack tip regions. Evidence of slipwas obtained from the interfacial displacements of small fluorescent particles when the adhesive was peeled from various substrates. While on most surfaces the slip distances were about 1-2 μm, a large slip (13 μm)was observed on segmentallymobile tethered chains of polydimethylsiloxanes (silicones). On the latter surface, slippage is so extensive that the adhesive flow pattern near the delamination zone is like plug flow. We believe it is due to the propensity of huge slippage that the silicone-containing polymers exhibit their unusually low adhesion to most materials.

A predictive framework for the design and fabrication of icephobic polymers
Ice accretion remains a costly, hazardous concern worldwide. Icephobic coatings reduce the adhesion between ice and a surface. However, only a handful of the icephobic systems reported to date reduce the ice adhesion sufficiently for the facile and passive removal of ice, such as under its own weight or by mild winds. Most of these icephobic surfaces have relied on sacrificial lubricants, which...

متن کاملA viscoelastic–stochastic model of the effects of cytoskeleton remodelling on cell adhesion
Cells can adapt their mechanical properties through cytoskeleton remodelling in response to external stimuli when the cells adhere to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Many studies have investigated the effects of cell and ECM elasticity on cell adhesion. However, experiments determined that cells are viscoelastic and exhibiting stress relaxation, and the mechanism behind the effect of cellular v...
