E-Book Overview
In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in the science of adhesion. Despite its multidisciplinary and undoubtedly industrial character, the wealth of phenomena to be found in the study of adhesion has drawn researchers from many seemingly disparate scientific disciplines. The intention of these books is to provide an updated view of the state of the art of adhesion science and to fill in the rather large gap in the compilation of knowledge related to adhesion science.This set of two volumes describes adhesion science from three fundamental perspectives: mechanics, surfaces and chemistry. Volume 1 focuses attention on the contribution of mechanic principles and solutions to understanding the fabrication, design, analysis, and testing of adhesive bonds. It also offers a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of stresses, deformation, and fracture parameters associated with a range of adhesive bonds.

ADHESION SCTF>NC,F* AND ENGlNEERING -I THE MECHANICS OF ADHESION Edited by D.A. Dillard and A X Pocius ADHESION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING - 1 Series Editor A.V. Pocius The cover displays a micrograph of glass particles on a plasticized polystyrene substrate showing adhesion-induced viscous flow of the substrate and encapsulation of the particle. The crater is the deformed substrate after a particle had been removed. The micrograph was taken by Ray Bowen and was supplied by Dr. Donald Rimai.
