Why Are Some Things Sticky at Alexis Lacombe blog

Why Are Some Things Sticky. The answer to why some things are sticky and some things are slippery comes down to the science of surfaces. The real question is, why. This week's science out of the box question — what makes sticky things stick —was inspired by a recent article about a synthetic. There are two separate ways for stuck things to become unstuck, according to a new study. We’ve all had the experience of that uncomfortably sticky feeling of syrup or jam residue on the breakfast table. But things like sugar or honey, which just feel kind of sticky, that's generally down to forces that are not actually chemical bonds, but instead interactions between molecules. A simple introduction to the science of adhesives and how they make things stick together using adhesive and cohesive forces. Some of those are hydrogen bonds, which are the same interactions as between water molecules. Or a wad of chewing gum binding our shoe to the sidewalk. Why does plastic get sticky? But what’s the science behind why some things stick, while other things slip? It's weak chemical bonding, which is usually the source of adhesion when any two surfaces are brought together. After a little research, i found that some plastic items have some sort of coating that breaks down.
