Over the last decade, or so, the growth in the use of adhesives,
especially in ever more technically demanding applications, has
been rapid and many major developments in the technology of
adhesives have been reported. This growth has also led to attention
being focused on somewhat more basic studies of the science of
adhesion and adhesives, and in recent years our level of
fundamental knowledge concerning the formation and mechanical
performance of adhesive joints has increased dramatically. Such
studies have, of course, been aided greatly by the development of
the tools at the disposal of the investigators. For example,
specific surface analytical techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron
and secondary-ion mass spectroscopy, and the increasingly
sophisticated methods of stress analysis and fracture mechanics
have been put to good use in furthering our understanding of the
science of adhesion and adhesives. The present book attempts to
review the multidisciplined subject of adhesion and adhesives,
considering both the science and technology involved in the
formation and mechanical performance of adhesive joints. The author
would like to thank his friends and colleagues for useful discus
sions and help in the preparation of this book. I am particularly
grateful to P. Cawley, J. Comyn, W. A. Lees, A. C. Roulin-Moloney,
W. C. Wake, J. G. Williams and R. J. Young who have read and
commented on various chapters and P. Farr for preparing the
diagrams."
