  2. Cell adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_adhesion

    Schematic of cell adhesion. Cell adhesion is the process by which cells interact and attach to neighbouring cells through specialised molecules of the cell surface. This process can occur either through direct contact between cell surfaces such as cell junctions or indirect interaction, where cells attach to surrounding extracellular matrix, a gel-like structure containing molecules released ...

  3. Mucoadhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucoadhesion

    Mucoadhesion involves several types of bonding mechanisms, and it is the interaction between each process that allows for the adhesive process. The major categories are wetting theory, adsorption theory, diffusion theory, electrostatic theory, and fracture theory. [5]

  4. Carbon–hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonhydrogen_bond

    In chemistry, the carbonhydrogen bond (C−H bond) is a chemical bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms that can be found in many organic compounds. [1] This bond is a covalent, single bond, meaning that carbon shares its outer valence electrons with up to four hydrogens. This completes both of their outer shells, making them stable. [2 ...

  5. Adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion

    A weaker bond is formed if a hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to an atom of nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine in another molecule, a phenomenon called hydrogen bonding. Chemical adhesion occurs when the surface atoms of two separate surfaces form ionic, covalent, or hydrogen bonds. The engineering principle behind chemical adhesion in ...

  6. Bioadhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioadhesive

    On non-polar surfaces the adhesive mechanisms may include van der Waals forces, whereas on polar surfaces mechanisms such as hydrogen bonding and binding to (or forming bridges via) metal cations may allow higher sticking forces to be achieved. [citation needed] Microorganisms use acidic polysaccharides (molecular mass around 100 000 Da ...

  7. Collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen

    This is the most abundant collagen of the human body. It is present in scar tissue, the end product when tissue heals by repair. It is found in tendons, skin, artery walls, cornea, the endomysium surrounding muscle fibers, fibrocartilage, and the organic part of bones and teeth. COL1A1, COL1A2

  8. Carbaminohemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbaminohemoglobin

    When carbon dioxide is transported from the tissues, it is produced as a waste product of a set of reactions known as cellular metabolism. Most importantly, the binding of carbon dioxide to hemoglobin plays a part in the buffering of blood pH by preventing the drop of pH due to the production of carbonic acid. [6]

  9. Adhesive bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_bonding

    Adhesive bonding is a joining technique used in the manufacture and repair of a wide range of products. Along with welding and soldering, adhesive bonding is one of the basic joining processes. In this technique, components are bonded together using adhesives. The broad range of types of adhesives available allows numerous materials to be ...
