title: Characterization of the adhesion of soft lining materials to poly (methyl methacrylate).
abstract: The adhesion of nine soft lining materials to poly (methyl methacrylate) has been characterized in the laboratory using peeling tests. Applying the energy theory of fracture to an elastic film peeling from a rigid substrate, this method gives a direct measure of the work of detachment.
