Adhesion and Adhesives Technology

by Alphonsus V. Pocius

 

Second Edition

Pages: 319, Hardbound

ISBN: 1-56990-319-0

Published: 2002

 

This book describes the three main disciplines that make up adhesion technology: mechanics of the adhesive bond, chemistry of adhesives, and surface science. This new edition provides you with the fundamentals of each of these areas, as they are important for the practitioner of this joining technology. The emphasis of this book is on understanding the science rather than a complete and detailed exposition on any part of it.You will also learn many helpful tips on how to test adhesives, prepare surfaces for bonding as well as general guidelines for the formulation of adhesives. The 2nd edition adds a set of practical problems and a key to their solution to each chapter. The book is targeted to an audience with certain knowledge of college level chemistry and physics. It is particularly useful for beginning level adhesion scientists. The breadth of information provided is indispensable to practicing adhesiologists.(You may also be interested in the listing of seminars, workshops, and conferences listed here for the Society for Adhesion and Adhesives [SAA] in London.)
