Systems Dominated By Dispersive Adhesion
All materials, even those not usually classified as adhesives, experience an attraction to other materials, due simply to dispersion forces. In many situations these attractions are trivial; however, dispersive adhesion plays a dominant role in various adhesive systems, especially when multiple forms of intermolecular attractions, as described above, are present. It has been shown by experimental methods that the dispersive mechanism of adhesion plays a large role in the overall adhesion in polymeric systems in particular.

Famous quotes containing the words systems and/or dominated:
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The strongest and most effective [force] in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of ... power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.”
—Maurice Godelier (b. 1934)
