The ability of an adhesive to spread over and bond with a surface depends primarily on which characteristic of the adherent?

Show Answers

The surface energy of the adherentThe texture of the adherent's surfaceThe surface tension present on the adherentWhether the adherent is crystalline or amorphous

Explanation

The wetting behavior of an adhesive on a surface is mainly influenced by the surface energy of the adherent. Higher surface energy promotes better spreading and adhesion. Factors like surface texture, tension, or the crystalline nature of the material have less direct impact on wetting.
