Created by Dave Guadagni

Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
Architecture Puzzler #123

Question

What is the difference between adhesion and cohesion?

Answer

Cohesion is the tendency of a material to maintain its integrity without separating or rupturing within itself when subject to external forces. Adhesion is the tendency of a material to bond to another material or substance.
