AEC-NASA TECH BRIEF 
AEC-NASA Tech Briefs announce new technology derived from the research and development program of the U.S. 
AEC or from AEC-NASA interagency efforts. They are issued to encourage commercial application. Tech Briefs are 
available on a subscription basis from the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, Virginia 22151. Requests 
for individual copies or questions relating to the Tech Brief program may be directed to the Technology Utilization 
Office, NASA, Code KT, Washington, D.C. 20546. 
Adhesion Theory Review 
A comprehensive review of adhesion theories and 
bond failure mechanisms has been compiled. The bond-
ing theories reviewed include physical adsorption, hydro-
gen bonding, chemisorption and surface energy; the 
bond failure mechanisms include phase discontinuity, 
swelling and corrosion. The presentation attempts to 
differentiate between the basic factors affecting adhe-
sion and the contributory factors which work for or 
against bond strength. 
O
The concept of bond failure by water desorption 
is introduced and discussed. In addition 59 references 
to articles on adhesion technology are included.
