Platelet adhesion in atherogenesis
… recently been published suggesting that platelet adhesion may initiate atherosclerotic lesion formation. The proposed research aimed to investigate this by seeing whether platelet adhesion occurred, directly or via leukocytes, to the endothelium in diabetic conditions. Diabetic-like conditions …

Cells, surfaces and adhesion
This thesis concerns cell adhesion to polymer surfaces with an experimental emphasis on hydrogels. The thesis begins with a review of the literature and a synthesis of recent evidence to describe the process of cell adhesion in a given situation. The importance of understanding integrin-adhesion …

Molecular Mechanisms of Cell Adhesion
NCAM forms a complex between its terminal domains Ig1 and Ig2. When NCAM of cell A and cell B connect to each other through complexes Ig12(A)/Ig12(B), the relative mobility of cells A and B and membrane tension exerts a force on the Ig12(A)/Ig12(B) complex. Here we investigate the response of the …

Bacterial adhesion in structured environments
… development of materials that prevent bacterial adhesion is therefore of paramount importance, and it requires a thorough understanding of the materials and bacterial surface properties that enable adhesive interactions. We herein design model surfaces and examine the interplay between …

Measuring and predicting sealant adhesion
Current sealant test methods do not lend themselves well to the measurement and prediction of sealant performance. T he objective of this work was to demonstrate that measurement of sealant material properties as a function of temperature and relative humidity for a specific sealant and substrate …

Blister Test for Measurements of Adhesion and Adhesion Degradation of Organic Polymers on AA2024-T3
… protective coatings applied to metals is adhesion. Surface preparation prior to coating application is known to be critical, but there is a lack of understanding of what controls adhesion. Numerous techniques have been developed in the last decades to measure the adhesion strength of …

The notched coating adhesion specimen: a fracture test for coatings and accelerated screening test for adhesion
A simple adhesion test method is proposed to provide estimates of the debond toughness of adhesive bonds. Notched coating adhesion (NCA) specimens consist of single substrates coated with thin layers of adhesive. The coating is notched to induce initial debonds, and the specimen is then loaded in a …

Cadherin specificity in adhesion and mechanotransduction
… all animal tissues. Tight regulation of cadherin adhesion plays critical roles in diverse biological processes. Differential binding between cadherin subtypes is widely believed to mediate cell sorting during embryogenesis. However, a fundamental unanswered question is whether cell sorting is …

Fundamental Analysis of Wood Adhesion Primers
Hydroxymethyl resorcinol (HMR) is an effective adhesion promoter (primer) for wood bonding; it dramatically improves adhesion and enhances bond durability against moisture exposure. In an effort to improve understanding of the HMR mechanism of action, this work compared HMR with two other chemical …
