Silanes are the most popular and widely used coupling agents (or adhesion promoters) for
succesful adhesion between two different materials. A brief list of their applications includes coatings
technology, adhesive bonding, reinforced composites, and sealants. The 18 papers contained in this
volume were originally presented at the Second International Symposium on Silanes and Other Adhesion
Promoters, held in Newark, NJ, October 21-23, 1998 — they have all undergone rigorous peer review and
revision prior to publication.
From the Preface: “...The availability of modern surface analysis techniques has been a boon
in unravelling the mechanism(s) by which coupling agents perform. Since the first symposium on
this topic, there had been a tremendous R&D activity in developing new and more effective
adhesion promoters and in understanding and optimizing the performance of available coupling agents...”
Target Audience: Any researcher, technologist, or student interested in promoting adhesion
between different materials over a myriad of applications.
