The texture and cleanliness of a surface can affect the adhesion of tape. A rough surface may provide more contact points for the tape to stick to, increasing adhesion. Conversely, a dirty or oily surface may reduce adhesion as it prevents the tape from making proper contact with the surface.
Yes, the adhesion between tape and a surface depends on the nature of the surface. Adhesion results from the attraction between molecules in the adhesive and molecules on the surface. Some materials, like wood allow for more of this attraction than substances like metal. Thus, the amount of adhesion depends on the surface as well as the adhesive on the tape.
Adhesion can affect flow rate by increasing resistance, causing the fluid to flow slower as it sticks to the surface it comes in contact with. This can be observed with low adhesion surfaces, where fluids flow faster due to reduced interaction with the surface.
When water sticks to surfaces like glass or leaves, forming droplets or films, this is a result of adhesion. Geckos are able to climb vertical surfaces due to the adhesive properties of their toe pads, which enable them to stick to surfaces through adhesion.

Surface type affects static friction by influencing the roughness and adhesion between two surfaces in contact. Rougher surfaces tend to have higher static friction due to increased interlocking and more surface contact, while smoother surfaces may exhibit lower static friction due to reduced adhesion forces. Different materials also have varying coefficients of static friction, with some surfaces gripping more strongly than others.

3M VSB tape is designed for various surfaces, but its adhesion to polyethylene can be limited due to the low surface energy of the material. While it may stick initially, the bond might not be strong or durable over time. For better adhesion on polyethylene, it’s recommended to use a tape specifically formulated for low-energy surfaces or to prepare the surface properly before application.
When using patching tape to repair damaged surfaces, it is important to clean the area thoroughly before applying the tape. Make sure the surface is dry and free of debris. Apply the tape smoothly and evenly, pressing it firmly to ensure proper adhesion. Allow the tape to fully dry and cure before painting or finishing the repaired area.
Answer Adhesion is the sticky part of tape that sticks to whatever you stick it to. The more sticky the more adhesion and the cleaner and dryer the piece you are trying to tape together will adhere more strongly because the piece in question is clean and dry.

Yes, washi tape typically does not leave residue when removed from surfaces.

Van der Walls forces usually are responsible. Sometimes in adhesion there is a mechanical "interlocking" of adhesive to one or more of the surfaces.
