Tack or tackiness in the context of material behaviour is associated with stickiness and may result from adhesive forces between two materials in contact or cohesive forces in a material bridging two ...

Adhesion or tack describes the tendency of materials to form a connection to a substrate when contact pressure is applied for a short time. This property can be characterized with a Modular Compact ...

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are an essential class of materials that bond instantly upon application of light pressure. Their unique properties stem from a delicate balance of viscoelasticity, ...

The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...
