Pro Tip 1/3Physical Attachment
Refers to an object's ability to stick to another surface, often due to physical or chemical properties.
The adhesion of paint to the wall depends on the surface preparation.
Pro Tip 2/3Not Always Permanent
The characteristic of being sticky or bonded may be temporary or could weaken over time.
The adhesion of the post-it note allowed it to stick to the fridge temporarily.
Pro Tip 3/3Explicit vs Implicit
Adhesion often implies deliberate action, unlike 'sticking' which can be accidental or natural.
Adhesive tape is used when adhesion is desired, unlike leaves sticking to your shoes.

we've put some of the adhesion chemistry from the mussels. So because we've got the corn and we've got the mussels, we call this our surf-and-turf polymer. And it sticks. It sticks really well. It's very strong. It's also bio-based. That's nice. But maybe more importantly, here, it's also degradable;
