This volume contains 18 papers originally presented at
Automotive Adhesives, Sealants & Coatings
2008, an international conference held in Stuttgart, Germany on June 10-11, 2008. A focus of the
conference was to simultaneously meet the needs of consumers and regulators in the worldwide market.
Topics include design challenges and materials considerations, as well as performance and durability, and
the prediction of these attributes. Contains valuable information not available elsewhere.
Target Audience: Anyone involved in structural bonding, sealing, and finishing in the
automotive sector; also interested readers in similar sectors such as aerospace, marine, large trucks and
excavation equipment, railcars, etc.
