Beschreibung

How do we make things stick together? Exactly how super is super glue? Can duct tape solve all of your problems?*

This book is about providing simple answers to these sticky questions and more by showing how adhesion science, in a very real sense, is holding civilization together.

Adhesives are everywhere in our daily lives. With some spaghetti, a few geckos, a couple of frying pans and a lot of problem-solving science, adhesion - what makes things stick - is explained with wit and panache by Professor Steven Abbott. From chewing gum to Portland cement and everything in between, all are passed under the microscope to see if, how, and, in some cases, to whom things stick and why.

Accompanied by an extensive suite of videos illustrating how science works, Sticking Together will pull apart the facts, dispel some tacky myths and reveal a few sticky surprises.

*with great effort; not that super; no - duct tape is not approved for use on ducts.
