Every surface has energy. You wouldn't necessarily think so, but they do. You can't 'see' surface energy just by looking at a material, and neither can you feel or otherwise detect different energies across surfaces by touching them. In everyday life, surface energy isn't particularly important - but when it comes to adhesive bonding, it most certainly is, as the experts at Permabond explain.
