Request a sales quoteThe Science of Adhesive Joints, Second Edition, discusses the fundamentals of adhesive joints. The book opens with a discussion on solid surfaces, covering topics such as why adhesives are needed, surface roughness and surface porosity, and adsorption of foreign atoms and molecules by solids. This is followed by separate chapters on fastening devices, solid-to-solid adhesion, the formation of adhints, tack phenomena, the mechanisms of setting, adhesional failures, stresses in adhints, and experimental strength of adhints.
