The revised and expanded second edition of this comprehensive reference exceeds the ambition of
its best-selling forerunner by re-examinig the mechanisms driving adhesion, categories of
adhesives, techniques for bond formation and evaluation, and major industrial applications. Integrating
modern technological innovations into adhesive preparation and application, this greatly expanded and
updated edition comprises a total of 26 different adhesive groupings — including three new classes.
Ten new chapters address molecular-level tailoring of formulations, the mechanical theory of
adhesion, acid—base interactions, fracture mechanics methods for testing bond interfaces, polymer
networking, polymer interactions in adhesives, and more. Highly recommended.
From the Preface: “Bonding different materials together by means of an adhesive may appear to
most people as a mundane occurrence. In reality a great deal of technology backs the apparently
simple action of bonding. Thus, a complex and advanced technology, or series of technologies, has arisen
to deal with adhesives and their applications in many fields...This book, containing bountiful
information, should serve for veterans as a commentary on the current state of knowledge regarding
adhesives, and as a Baedeker for those who wish to make their maiden voyage into the wonderful and
technologically important area of adhesives...”
Target Audience: Polymer chemists; surface chemists; adhesives technologists; design,
manufacturing, mechanical, and process engineers; and upper-level students in these disciplines.
