Inhaltsangabe

The use of adhesives is widespread and growing. There are few modern artefacts, from simple food packing to complex jumbo jets, that are without this means of adhesive joining. Fully updated and revised, Adhesion Science 2nd Edition provides an illuminating account of the science underlying the use of adhesives; technology fundamental to the science of coatings and composite materials, and to the performance of all types of bonded structures. This book guides the reader through essential polymer science to the chemistry of adhesives currently in use. It discusses surface preparation for adhesive bonding, the use of primers and coupling agents and includes a simple guide on stress distribution joints and considerations for testing. Adhesion Science also examines the interaction of adhesives and the environment, including an analysis of the resistance of joints to water, oxygen and ultra-violet light. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the chemistry of adhesives ideal not only for chemists, but any students with a background in physical or materials science.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The author taught polymer chemistry at Leicester Polytechnic and Loughborough University. He has worked as a consutltant in adhesive bonding and polymers, and for many years was editor of the International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives. He is a graduate of Leeds (PhD) and Bristol (BSc, DSc) Universities, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Adhesion Science provides an illuminating account of the science underlying the use of adhesives and sealants. Adhesion is a technology which is spreading and developing, and has some advantages over other means of joining.
This second edition guides the reader through the polymer chemistry that underlies the subject, and details the chemistry of current adhesives. Surface chemistry includes surface treatments, the use of primers and coupling agents, methods of analysis and what can be learned from contact angles. There is a simple guide to the distributions of stresses in joints and how this relates to mechanical testing. Joints can be sensitive to the environment in that water, oxygen and UV can attack. The final chapter looks at how some living creatures exploit adhesion, and how adhesives are used to repair human bodies. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the chemistry of adhesives ideal not only for chemists, but any students with a background in physical or materials science.
