Body the consistency of an adhesive which is a function of viscosity and plasticity

 

Bond strength the force /(tension, peel, impact, cleavage shear, etc.) required to break an adhesive assembly, with failure in or near the bond line.

 

Bonding agent is a liquid pretreatment for substrates to improve adhesion

 

Bond line is the stress required to produce failure or fracture in a material
