Instrumental and sensory characteristics of chewing gums were measured at each masticatory stage, and the correlations between the characteristics were analyzed. In instrumental characteristics, similarities were proved between initial puncture work and puncture force, intermediate hardness and penetration work, final hardness and penetration work, and adhesion work and adhesion force. Final hardness correlated highly with yield force and the slope of force-distance curve of penetration test, and the slope also correlated significantly with springiness and adhesion force. In sensory characteristics, the correlations of the same parameter between trained panel and consumer were extremely high. Initial stiffness correlated significantly with both intermediate and final firmness by consumer. Highly significant correlations were obtained between final firmness and stiffness and between lift and cohesion by trained panel, whereas firmness correlated with adhesion negatively.

In this paper, it is intended to present more reproducible and quantitative method for adhesion assemssement. In scratch test, micromechanical analysis on the stress state beneath the indenter was carried out considering the additional blister field. The interface adhesion was quantified as work of adhesion through Griffith energy approach on the basis of the analyzed stress state. The work of adhesion for DLC film/WC-Co substrate calculated through the proposed analysis shows the identical value regardless of distinctly different critical loads measured with the change of film thickness and scratching speed. On the other hand, uniaxial loading was imposed on DCL film/Al substrate, developing the transverse film cracks perpendicular to loading direction. Since this film cracking behavior depends on the relative magnitude of adhesion strength to film fracture strength, the quantification of adhesion strength was given a trial through the micromechanical analysis of adhesion-dependence of film cracking patterns. The interface shear strength can be quantified from the measurement of strain $\varepsilon$s and crack spacing $\lambda$ at the cessation of film cracking.

In this study, the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) theory was combined with the instrumented indentation technique (IIT) to evaluate work of adhesion and modulus of elastomeric polymer. Indentation test was used to obtain the load-displacement data for contacts between Tungsten Carbide indenter and elastomeric polymer. And the JKR contact model, contrived to take viscoelastic effects of polymer into account, was applied to compensate the contact area and the elastic modulus which Hertzian contact model would underestimate and overestimate, respectively. Besides, we could obtain the thermodynamic work of adhesion by considering the surface energy in this contact model. In order to define the relation between JKR contact area and applied load without optical measuring of contact area, we used the relation between applied load and contact stiffness by examining the correlation between JKR contact area and stiffness through dimensional analysis with 14 kinds of elastomeric polymer. From this work, it could be demonstrated that the interfacial work of adhesion and elastic modulus of compliant polymer can be obtained from a simple instrumented indentation testing without area measurement, and provided as the main algorithm of compliant polymer characterization.

Roughening of metal surfaces frequently enhances the adhesion strength of metals to polymers by mechanical interlocking. When a failure occurs at a roughened metal/polymer interface, the failure prone to be cohesive. In a previous work, an adhesion study on a roughened metal (oxidized copper-based leadframe)/polymer (Epoxy Molding Compound, EMC) interface was carried out, and the correlation between adhesion strength and failure path was investigated. In the present work, an attempt to interpret the failure path was made under the assumption that microvoids are formed in the EMC as well as near the roots of the CuO needles during compression-molding process. A simple adhesion model developed from the theory of fiber reinforcement of composite materials was introduced to explain the adhesion behavior of the oxidized copper-based leadframe/EMC interface and failure path. It is believed that this adhesion model can be used to explain the adhesion behavior of other similarly roughened metal/polymer interfaces.

By using JKR technique, the surface energy of a solid material and the intrinsic work of adhesion between two materials were determined. JKR technique is based on the contact mechanics, and is now being accepted as a new method which can overcome the demerits of the existing test methods such as contact angle measurement and other adhesion test. In this study, the surface energy of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is measured by JKR method and the experimental results and the applicability of JKR apparatus were discussed.

Nano adhesion between SPM(scanning probe microscope) tips and DDPO$_4$(octadecylphosphoric acid ester.) and ODPO$_4$(octadecylphosphoric acid ester) SAM(self-assembled monolayer.) was experimentally studied. Tests were performed to measure the nano adhesion and friction in both AFM(atomic force microscope) and LFM(lateral force microscope) modes with the applied normal load. DDPO$_4$ and ODPO$_4$ SAM were formed on Ti and TiOx surfaces. Ti and TiOx were coated on the Si wafer by ion sputtering. Adhesion and friction of DDPO$_4$ and ODPO$_4$ SAM surfaces were compared with those of OTS(octadecyltrichlorosilane) SAM and DLC surfaces. DDPO$_4$ and ODPO$_4$ SAM converted the Ti and TiOx surfaces to be hydrophobic. When the surface was hydrophobic, the adhesion and friction forces were found lower than those of bare surfaces. Work of adhesion was also discussed to explain how the surface was converted into hydrophobic Results also showed that tribological characteristics of DDPO$_4$ and ODPO$_4$ SAM had good properties in the adhesion, friction, wetting angle and work of adhesion. DDPO$_4$ and ODPO$_4$ SAM could be one of the candidates for the bio-MEMS elements.

The adhesion between wheel and rail plays an important role in the braking performance of trains. Though there have been numerous studies on the characteristics of adhesion phenomenon, a general understanding from the physical point of view is still lacking. In this work, the adhesion mechanism between wheel and rail was investigated by studying the mechanisms of pure rolling and sliding experiments. Tests were performed under various conditions to determine the physical phenomenon responsible for adhesion between wheel and rail. The results of this study is expected to aid in improving the braking performance of trains.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of oxidation inhibitor contents on the work of adhesion, fracture toughness, and impact strength of the unidirectional carbon-carbon composites (C/C composites). The molybdenum disilicide ($MoSi_2$) used as an oxidation inhibitor was impregnated with phenolic resins to improve the anti-oxidation properties of the composites in different concentrations of 4, 12 and 20 wt%. Based on Wilhelmy equation, the work of adhesion of C/C composites was calculated by contact angle methods. Fracture toughness and impact strength were pressured by three-point bending test for the critical intensity factor ($K_IC$) and Izod test method, respectively. As a result, the composites made with $MoSi_2$ resulted in an increasing of both fracture toughness and impact strength. Especially, the composites made with 12 wt% $MoSi_2$ content showed the highest value of London dispersive component, $W_A\;^L$, in work of adhesion, resulting from improving the interfacial adhesion force among fibers, filler, and matrix in this system.

Adhesion property of epoxy adhesive was evaluated with different surface roughness of glass fiber reinforced composite (GFRC) and optimized condition of surface roughness was confirmed. Different sizes of alumina (Al2O3) particles were blasted to GFRC to control surface roughness of GFRC using sand blasting method. The surface roughness was measured and quantified via surface roughness tester. Contact angle was measured using four types of different solvents. Surface energies and work of adhesion between epoxy adhesive and GFRCs were calculated with different surface roughness of GFRC. Adhesion property between epoxy adhesive and GFRCs was evaluated using single lap shear test and adhesion property increased with surface roughness of GFRC. The fracture surface of GFRCs was observed to evaluate adhesion property. Finally, the optimized roughness condition of GFRCs was confirmed.
