Synopsis

Adhesive Bonding: Science, Technology and Applications, Second Edition guides the reader through the fundamentals, mechanical properties and applications of adhesive bonding. This thoroughly revised and expanded new edition reflects the many advances that have occurred in recent years. Sections cover the fundamentals of adhesive bonding, explaining how adhesives and sealants work, and how to assess and treat surfaces, how adhesives perform under stress and the factors affecting fatigue and failure, stress analysis, environmental durability, non-destructive testing, impact behavior, fracture mechanics, fatigue, vibration damping, and applications in construction, automotive, marine, footwear, electrical engineering, aerospace, repair, electronics, biomedicine, and bonding of composites.

With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, this book is an essential resource for industrial engineers, R&D, and scientists working with adhesives and their industrial applications, as well as researchers and advanced students in adhesion, joining, polymer science, materials science and mechanical engineering.

• Offers detailed, methodical coverage of the fundamentals, mechanical properties and industrial applications of adhesive bonding

From the Back Cover

Adhesive Bonding: Science, Technology and Applications, Second Edition, guides the reader through the fundamentals, mechanical properties, and applications of adhesive bonding. This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition reflects the many advances that have occurred in recent years, including a huge increase in application areas, the development of new and more effective repair techniques, and significant changes in stress analysis. New chapters on repair, electronic assembly, biomedical applications, and disassembly and recycling are included.

The first part of the book presents the fundamentals of adhesive bonding, explaining how adhesives and sealants work, and how to assess and treat surfaces. The second part focuses on how adhesives perform under stress, and the factors affecting fatigue and failure. Stress analysis, environmental durability, non-destructive testing, impact behavior, fracture mechanics, fatigue and vibration damping are examined in detail. The final part of the book reviews applications, with in-depth chapters each dedicated to the preparation and utilization of adhesives in a specific application area, including construction, automotive, marine, footwear, electrical engineering, aerospace, repair, electronics, biomedicine, and bonding of composites.

With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Adhesive Bonding, Second Edition is an essential resource for industrial engineers, R&D and scientists working with adhesives and their industrial applications, as well as researchers and advanced students in adhesion, joining, polymer science, materials science, and mechanical engineering.
