An adhesive bandage is a tiny piece of sticky adhesive tape with an absorbent pad to cover minor cuts or wounds on your body. The absorbent pad is usually made of cotton, and there is occasionally a thin coating over the pad to save it from sticking to the wound. The adhesive bandage protects the cut and scab from bacteria, injury, or dirt so that the body's healing process is less disturbed. The adhesive used in bandages is commonly an acrylic polymer. Polymers are huge molecules made up of many smaller molecules chemically attached in a repeating pattern.
A peel test is performed between two materials bonded together with an adhesive. The adhesive usually takes the form of a thin layer. The peel test aims to determine the material's adhesive strength or the adhesive bond between two materials. This adhesive strength represents the "stickiness" of a material as it measures the samples' resistance to separate from one another after the adhesive has been applied. This measure determines whether the adhesive bond is strong enough or too strong for the use and whether a different adhesive or bonding process is needed. ASTM D903 was used to measure the adhesive strength.
