Adhesion between silica glass or acrylic balls and silicone elastomers and various industrial
rubbers is investigated. The work of adhesion during pull-off is found to strongly vary …

Strength of adhesion depends upon the rheology of an adhesive as well as upon its
interaction with a substrate. This is shown by studies using model joints prepared with …

Adhesion between glass and bromobutyl and polydimethylsiloxane elastomers is
investigated. We show that viscoelastic energy dissipation close to the opening (or closing) …

We study the adhesion between smooth polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) rubber balls and
smooth and rough poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) surfaces, and between smooth silicon …

We study the adhesion, friction and leak rate of seals for four different elastomers:
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), Ethylene Propylene Diene (EPDM) …

Pre-cross-linked rubber adheres to glass mainly by physical interactions (van der Waals'
bonds). Nevertheless, the measured adhesion is often greater than expected even at low …

Rubber has been employed in contact with a variety of surfaces for decades, yet the
adhesional mechanisms involved are not fully understood. This article describes …

We have studied the adhesion between an elastomeric lens of cross-linked poly (dimethyl-
siloxane)(PDMS) brought into contact with a silicon wafer covered by a grafted layer of …

Sheets of various rubber compounds were pre-molded using different mold surfaces: Mylar
film, smooth steel, and roughened steel. Two sheets of the same compound were then …

Adhesion between a model acrylic elastomer and a glassy polymeric substrate has been
investigated by the JKR technique. Hemispherical lenses of lightly cross-linked poly (n-butyl …
