Once again, just before Easter, a goodly number of people gathered
to hear a series of papers on a variety of aspects of adhesion
presented by authors from a number of countries. Overall they all
seemed to be as well pleased as ever with what they received. One
might have thought that by now-the twenty-eighth year-the whole
range of possible topics had been scanned; but no, there are two
papers which are concerned with an entirely new one. This arises
from the fairly recent recognition that if society is to utilise
adhesives and gain anything like their potential advantage, then
there is a whole area of dissemination of information and a special
sort of education which must be accomplished. To meet this need
various initiatives have been undertaken, and two of these are
reported within this volume-in addition to papers of the more
conventional technological type. As always, I must record my thanks
to all those who make possible both these conferences and the books
through which the papers are available to a wider audience. The
audience, the authors and their secretaries, various people within
the University, the publishers and their staff; all are essential
parts of the whole. To them, each and everyone, may I express my
sincere appreciation and gratitude.
As I turn to write this Prefaee to another volume of papers
presented at the Annual Conferenee on Adhesion and Adhesives, I am
reflecting on how fortuna te we are to he ahle to eontinue to
attraet hoth speakers and audienee of such high standard year after
year. This field of scienee and technology continues to grow in
size and importance, so that it is not so surprising that those
interested from a very eonsiderahle range of countries and
diseiplines are willing to come together and spend a couple of days
each year exchanging ideas and views, hoth formally and informally.
So, once again, I can and must express thanks to all those who have
made this volume possihle: hoth those who presented the papers, and
then rewrote them for puhlication, and those who through their
attendance made the conference a vi ahle reality. K. W. ALLEN v

Twenty-five years is a considerable time span in the life of any
scientific discipline; certainly in this twentieth century when
development is so rapid. For the science of adhesion and the
technology of adhesives this is particularly true. For these, the
immediately past quarter century might be compared with the
Renaissance when all the civilised world was alight with the 'new
learning'. Certainly it has been a period of immense advance both
of understanding and of application in this an a of scientific
endeavour. It was in the light of this situation that here at City
University we set about arranging the Twenty-fifth Annual
Conference on Adhesion and Adhesives, of which this volume presents
the proceedings. A total of seventeen papers from seven countries,
covering a span of topics from organic chemistry through physical
chemistry and physics to engineering. Truly this Conference has
'come of age' and is acknowledged as the annual international venue
for the consideration of adhesion in all its diversity. It is our
earnest hope and intention that it shall continue for many more
years. May I express my personal gratitude to all those who make
the event possible; the audiences as well as the speakers, all
those in the University who help in various ways, and the
publishers who make it possible for you, the wider audience, to
have these proceedings.
Each year, about Easter time, we are reminded of the continuing
growth in the use of adhesives. The Annual Conference here at The
City University provides a focal point for discussion, both formal
and informal, on expansion and development. For those who attend
the Conference its rewards and usefulness are immediate and
obvious, but its influence extends to a wider audience through the
regular publication of the papers. Here in Volume 11 of the series
we offer the latest instalment, the papers presented and discussed
in 1986. May I express gratitude to all those who, by their
continuing support, both in presenting papers and in attending the
meeting, make the whole event so successful and rewarding. Thank
you all, very much. K. W. ALLEN Vll Contents Preface . v 1. The

The use of adhesives continues to increase both in importance and
in areas of use, particularly in engineering construction.
Alongside this is a steady growth in our fundamental understanding
of the factors involved. Both of these topics are reflected in
various meetings and nowhere more consistently than at the Annual
Conference on Adhesion and Adhesives at The City University each
Easter. 1984 was the twenty-second of these when, once again,
people carne from far and near to present accounts of their work
and to discuss them in all their variety. This publication makes
the papers available to the wider audience who were not able to
attend in person. In presenting this volume, may I express sincere
gratitude, both personally and on behalf of the University, to all
those who contributed in so many and various ways to the
conference. K. W. ALLEN Contents Preface. v l. Textile-to-Rubber

As interest in the whole science and technology of adhesion and
adhesives grows, so do the meetings concerned with it proliferate.
In the light of this, it is gratifying that this, the oldest
regular meeting in the field, maintains its position by attracting
both speakers and audience of such high standard from across the
world year after year; further, that we are enabled to reach a
wider audience through the publication of the papers presented at
the conference in this series of volumes. This present volume,
Number 14, differs from its predecessors by the addition of two
extra items. Firstly, 1989 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the Adhesion Society of Japan. As part of the celebrations, the
Society arranged a mission to Europe which culminated in a Special
Anglo-Japanese Symposium on 21 April at The City University,
London. We are fortunate in being able to include two of the papers
presented by our Japanese visitors. Secondly, on Christmas Day,just
as the final work on this volume was being completed, William C.
('Bill') Wake sadly died. We have included an appreciation of his
contribution both to these conferences and to the world of adhesion
generally. Finally, may I once again express my thanks to all those
who have made possible the production of this volume. They are far
too numerous to mention individually, including the authors, their
secretaries, various members of the staff of the University, and
our publishers; to them all, 'Thank you very much'.
