Progress in Adhesion and Adhesives, Volume 5, Gebunden

Klappentext

A solid collection of interdisciplinary review articles on the latest developments in adhesion science and adhesives technology

With the ever-increasing amount of research being published, it is a Herculean task to be fully conversant with the latest research developments in any field, and the arena of adhesion and adhesives is no exception. Thus, topical review articles provide an alternate and very efficient way to stay abreast of the state-of-the-art in many subjects representing the field of adhesion science and adhesives.

Based on the success of the preceding volumes in this series "Progress in Adhesion and Adhesives", the present volume comprises 13 review articles published in Volume 7 (2019) of Reviews of Adhesion and Adhesives.The subject of these reviews fall into the following general areas.

1. Adhesively bonded joints

2. Adhesives (including bioadhesives) and their applications

3. Nanocomposite polymer adhesives

4. Polymer surface modification

5. Wettability and surface free energy

6. Adhesion of bacteria.

The topics covered include: Adhesion behavior of plasma treated steel and its alloys; debonding on demand of adhesively bonded joints; bioadhesive polymers; adhesives in the footwear industry; nanocomposite polymer adhesives; ion beam treatment of polymer surfaces to enhance adhesion; natural to artificial non-wettable surfaces and applications; plasma oxidation of polyolefins; wettability and surface free energy characterization of textiles; bioadhesive nanoformulations; laser-assisted tailoring of surface wettability; functionally graded adhesively bonded joints; adhesion of colloids and bacteria to porous media.

Audience
This book will be valuable and useful to researchers and technologists in adhesion science, materials science, composites, nanotechnology, polymer science, biomedical / dental fields, physics, surface and colloid chemistry in academia and industry.
