Njengento ebalulekile ekukhiqizeni kwanamuhla, ukusebenza kwezinamatheliso zezimboni kuhlobene eduze nesakhiwo sazo. Isakhiwo se-adhesive sinquma amandla ayo esibopho, ukumelana nezinga lokushisa, ukumelana namakhemikhali, nokuhambisana kwe-substrate. Ngakho-ke, ukuqonda okujulile kokwakheka kwayo kanye ne-microstructure kubalulekile ukuze kusetshenziswe ngokugcwele.
Ngokombono wamakhemikhali, izinamathiselo zezimboni zihlukaniswa ngokuyinhloko zibe izigaba ezimbili: eziphilayo kanye ne-inorganic. Izinto ezinamathelayo ze-organic, njengama-epoxy resins, ama-acrylates, nama-polyurethanes, asekelwe kuma-polymers. Amaketango awo amamolekyuli akha -uhlaka lwenethiwekhi enobukhulu obuthathu ngokusebenzisa amabhondi e-covalent noma e-hydrogen, anikeza ukuhlangana okuphezulu nokunamathela kokubalulekile. Ama-epoxy resins, ngenxa yokuminyana kwawo okuphezulu kwe-crosslink kanye nokumelana namakhemikhali aqinile, asetshenziswa kabanzi ekufakweni kwe-elekthronikhi nokuhlanganisa insimbi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ama-polyurethanes anikeza kokubili ukuguquguquka namandla ngenxa yezingxenye zawo eziqinile nezithambile ezilungisekayo, okuwenza afanelekele izindawo zomthwalo oguquguqukayo. Okunamathelayo okungaphili, okufana nama-silicates nama-phosphates, ancike kumabhondi e-ionic nezakhiwo ze-lattice, okuholela ekumelaneni{6}}nokushisa okuphezulu kakhulu futhi avame ukusetshenziswa ekufakweni kwe-aerospace.
Ngokombono wesakhiwo somzimba, izindlela zokunamathela ezinamathelayo zifaka ukumanzisa, ukusabalalisa, kanye nokuxhumanisa ngomshini. Izinto ezinamathelayo eziwuketshezi kufanele zimanzise ngokugcwele indawo engaphansi ukuze kutholakale ukunamathela kokuqala ngokusebenzisa amandla e-intermolecular (njengamandla e-van der Waals). Amanye ama-adhesive, njengama-acrylics, angangena kuma-micropores e-substrate, enze ukwakheka komshini oxhumanisayo lapho ephulukiswa, athuthukise kakhulu amandla e-peel. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukungezwa kwama-filler (afana ne-silica ne-carbon fibre) kungathuthukisa ukuguquguquka okushisayo kwe-adhesive, ukumelana nokugqokwa, kanye nokuzinza kwe-dimensional, kuyilapho ama-ejenti ahlanganisayo ethuthukisa ukuhlangana kwamakhemikhali okuhlangana ubuso futhi anciphise ubungozi be-delamination.
Idizayini yesimanje yokunamathisela yezimboni ithrenda ekufezeni imisebenzi eminingi, ifinyelela ibhalansi ethile yokusebenza ngokukhohlisa kwesakhiwo samangqamuzana. Isibonelo, ezimotweni ezilula, izinamathiselo zesakhiwo kufanele zihlangabezane nezidingo zamandla aphezulu kanye nokumelana nokukhathala; kumadivaysi e-electronic, ukuphuma kwegesi okuphansi kanye nezakhiwo zokushisa eziphezulu kubalulekile. Ngokuzayo, ngokuhlanganiswa kwe-nanotechnology nezinto ezihlakaniphile, idizayini yesakhiwo sokunamathisela izophinde iphule imikhawulo evamile futhi ikhuthaze ukuthuthukiswa{2}}kokukhiqiza okuphezulu.
