Sticky

Sticky is a term often used to describe a physical property of certain substances or materials that adhere or cling to other objects. This property can be observed in both natural and synthetic materials, such as honey, glue, tape, and adhesives.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The stickiness of a substance is determined by its viscosity, which is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. High viscosity substances, such as honey or molasses, are often described as sticky due to their slow flow and tendency to adhere to surfaces.

In addition to natural substances, many synthetic materials also exhibit sticky properties. These include various types of adhesives, such as glue and tape, which are designed to stick to surfaces and hold objects together.

Applications[edit | edit source]

Sticky substances have a wide range of applications in various fields. In the construction industry, adhesives are used to bond materials together. In the medical field, sticky substances are used in bandages and medical tapes to adhere to the skin and hold dressings in place. In the food industry, sticky ingredients are used to bind together different components of a dish.
