Many people here are interested in the behaviours of interfaces.
I am interested in having a list of the cohesive energy for interfaces between different materials, such as polymer/ceramics, polymer/metals, polymer/polymer, metals/ceramics, biological interfaces, carbon nanotube/polymer matrix, etc.
So, what is the magnitude of the cohesive energy per unit area of the interface you are studying?

Scalars are quantities that have magnitude only; they are independent of direction.
Vectors have both magnitude and direction. The length of a vector represents magnitude. The arrow shows direction.

First
An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

This blog focuses on machinery condition monitoring, explosion-proof design, and related issues.
Some topics on instructional design and technology may benefit iMechanica.
Reading the article, future role of iMechanica (node/908) posted by Teng (user/10), I am thinking that iMechanica may replace mechanical seminars, lectures conducted by invited mechanicians, in the future.
Academic seminars have several functions: first, to exchange information; second, to build up connections.
Each one of us developed his own knowledge structure. After graduation we followed different research interests, took different projects, and adopted different approaches, analytical, numerical, or experimental. Therefore the knowledge structure is unique for every person, coming from his/her education background and scientific experiences.
There are several levels for the overlapping in our knowledge structure.
