What is it about?
There are two distinct viewpoints on adhesion: (i) surface chemistry, and (ii) fracture mechanics. For elucidation of the relative importance of mechanical properties in the bonding of adhesives, the strength of adhesion between model adhesives and glass plates was measured by the wedge cleavage (WC) test method.

Why is it important?
Copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with n-butyl acrylate (nBA) and methyl methacrylate with styrene (S) were prepared as model adhesives.
Perspectives
The results show that in MMA-nBA copolymers, by increasing the amount of nBA, both the loss function and the adhesion energy of the adhesives increase. However, by increasing the amount of nBA above a certain level, the adhesion strength begins to decrease. In this situation, the cohesive strength of the adhesive dominates the failure mechanism
