Hard—Soft Acid—Base (HSAB) Principle for Solid Adhesion and Surface Interactions

  • Chapter
Fundamentals of Adhesion

Abstract

The donor—acceptor interaction(1,2) and the acid—base interaction(3) have been reviewed. On many occasions, the two terms, though different, have been used interchangeably to describe the interactions involving the exchange of electrons between a donor and an acceptor. For polymer adhesion, Fowkes(4,5) and Bolger et al. (6) have pointed out the important role of the acid-base interaction in the formation of an adhesive bond.
