Adhesion Book
Adhesion and Adhesives Technology: An Introduction, 2nd Edition by Alphonsus V. Pocius, 3M Adhesive Technologies Center, describes the three main disciplines that make up adhesion technology: mechanics of the adhesive bond, chemistry of adhesives, and surface science. This new edition provides the reader with the fundamentals of each of these areas, and emphasizes understanding the science rather than a complete and detailed exposition on any part of it. Readers will find helpful tips on how to test adhesives, prepare surfaces for bonding as well as general guidelines for the formulation of adhesives. The 2nd edition adds a set of practical problems and a key to their solution to each chapter. The book is targeted to an audience with certain knowledge of college level chemistry and physics. It is particularly useful for beginning level adhesion scientists. The breadth of information provided is indispensable to practicing adhesiologists. 319 pages, 33 tables, 161 figures.
