The energies and forces between contacting surfaces originate from the interaction forces between atoms and molecules. This chapter discusses how these atomic level forces lead to various types of force–separation relations as two surfaces are brought into contact. This chapter covers the interactions between atoms (repulsive atomic potentials and van der Waals interactions), the interactions within liquid and aqueous media (solvation forces, electrostatic double layer, hydration repulsion, hydrophobic attraction), and electrostatic interactions from contact electrification. Due to their ubiquitous effect on adhesion, van der Waals interactions are discussed at length, including examples for calculating adhesive forces in different geometries using Hamaker constants.
