bond strength
The unit load, applied in tension, compression,
flexure, peel, cleavage, or sheer, required to
break two adherend materials, with failure
occurring in or near the plane of the bond. The
bond strength of adhesives used in archival work
should be such that stress to the point of failure
will result in failure of the adhesive, rather
than either adherend. (309 )
