Which outcome results when excessive mechanical stress fractures adhesive bonds?

💡 Explanation

Interfacial adhesion fails because mechanical stress overcomes van der Waals forces; therefore, the adhesive loses strength at the interface and peels away, rather than the material deforming, because covalent bonds within the adhesive resist deformation.
