Surface Treatment in Bonding Technology. This item is unavailable.Surface Treatment in Bonding Technology

Surface Treatment in Bonding Technology provides valuable advice on surface treatment methods, modern measuring devices, and the appropriate experimentation techniques that are essential to create strong joints with a reliable service life. The book's focus is on the detailed and up-to-date analysis of surface treatment methods for metallic and polymer substrates. An analysis of factors affecting the surface preparation stage, together with advice on selection, is also provided. Essential theory is combined with experimentation techniques and industry practice to provide a guide that is both practical and academically rigorous.

Including a general introduction to bonding, as well as coverage of mechanical, chemical and electrochemical methods, this book is the ideal primer for anyone working with or researching adhesive bonding.

Anna Rudawska is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Lublin University of Technology, where she is also head of Technological Processes, and Systems Design Chair.

Her research is focused on the influence of technological and structural factors on joint strength in polymers and metals, design of bonding technology, adhesives, surface treatment methods and the adhesive strength of adhesive joints. Her research includes both experimental studies and numerical analysis using finite element method, and non-destructive testing methods to analyze the correctness of adhesive joints.

She has written 220 articles in scholarly journals, several monographs and book chapters, and holds patents and patent applications in adhesive and bonding technology. She is a member the Polymer Processing Society, the Polish Society of Mechanical Engineers and Technicians, the Polish Maintenance Society, the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives.
