The Handbook of Adhesive Technology, second edition, exceeds the ambition of its best-selling forerunner by re-examining 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.
