3. Bond energy: the mechanical strength of the interface
Once the bonding energy has propagated, the two surfaces are joined together. With the exception of very special direct bonds (gold/gold, SAB, ADB, etc.), the two surfaces can always be disassembled.
In general, the debonding of the two materials is measured using the fracture energy
. It has the unit of an energy and is generally expressed in J · m
–2
. It is also sometimes referred to as the critical energy restitution rate. In the case of bonded assemblies, the term adhesion energy is used.
It is often necessary to maximize the mechanical...
