We all know the feeling of something sticking to our skin, but have you ever wondered why? It's all thanks to the science of adhesion.
Adhesion is the force that holds two surfaces together, and it's all around us. It's what allows a gecko to climb up walls, a spider to spin a web, and a snail to crawl on glass.
In his book Sticky: The Secret Science of Surfaces, author Marc Meyers explores the fascinating world of adhesion. He explains the different types of adhesion, how it works, and how it affects our everyday lives.
Did you know that the sticky notes on your desk use a type of adhesion called van der Waals forces? These forces are weak, but they're enough to hold the sticky note in place. The gecko's feet use a different type of adhesion called capillary forces. These forces are created by the tiny hairs on the gecko's feet, which create a capillary bridge between the foot and the surface.
Adhesion is a powerful force that can be used for good or for evil. It's used to create everything from medical devices to weapons. It can also be used to solve crimes and create new technologies.
Sticky: The Secret Science of Surfaces is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the science of adhesion. It's a fascinating and informative book that will change the way you think about the world around you.
Here are a few of the things you'll learn in Sticky:
