Adhesive bonding: Science, technology and applications contains :
- essential information for all those concerned with the industrial application of adhesives
- this important collection examines adhesives and adhesive bonding for load-bearing applications
- arranged in a user-friendly format with three main sections: fundamentals, generic uses and industry specific applications
- written by a leading international team of authors
This important collection reviews key research on adhesive behaviour and applications in sectors as diverse as construction and automotive engineering. The book is broken down into three main parts: fundamentals, mechanical properties and applications. Part 1 focuses on the basic properties of adhesives, surface assessment and treatment. Part 2 concentrates on understanding how adhesives perform under stress and the factors affecting fatigue and failure. The final part of the book reviews industry specific applications in areas such as building and construction, transport and electrical engineering.
With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Adhesive bonding will be a standard reference for all those concerned with the industrial application of adhesives.
