The aim of this 1981 book, designed for senior undergraduates,
postgradutes and professionals, is to draw together in one unified
presentation a number of the phenomena associated with polymer
surfaces. The author begins by describing the theory of surface
tension in terms of intermolecular forces and then goes on to
consider the practical problem of the factors involved when a
liquid wets a polymeric surface and forms a bond to it. An account
of polymeric adhesives and their different spheres of application
follows, and an examination of the mechanism of failure of adhesive
joints leads to a discussion of joint design for optimum strength
and environmental resistance. A chapter on friction is closely
related to that on adhesion, and the final chapter is devoted to
specific frictional mechanisms associated with high hysteresis
polymers as well as an introductory discussion of wear.
