A comparative study of stickiness of tumor cells to glass surfaces was undertaken with the use of three strains of rat ascites hepatoma, All 13, All 130, and All 7974. Stickiness was measured by calculating the percentage of cells clinging to a glass surface of the calculating plate after it was washed with salt solution. A significant difference was observed in the cell stickiness among these ...

Stickiness of powder particles is often responsible for their impaired flow characteristics. Stickiness resulted from glass transition showing a relationship with mechanical -relaxations, and stickiness occurred differently in dairy solids modified in their lactose and protein contents. Glass transition, -relaxation and stickiness properties of milk solids systems were related to their solids c...
