This book describes cell adhesion in terms of van der Waal's forces acting between deformable particles of known elastic, geometric and surface properties. It first defines the theory in fundamental terms before applying it to particles of biological origin.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, engineers and technologists would have recognized the importance of adhesion in two main aspects: First, in the display of friction between surfaces - at the time a topic of growing importance to engineers;
