Adhesion Promotion Techniques - Technological Applications (Hardcover)

A highly pragmatic guide to advanced methods for improving adhesion, Adhesion Promotion Techniques presents the state of the art in improving bond strength between different materials for many manufacturing processes. Explores up-to-date, high-quality adhesion technologies for a wide variety of materials, thoroughly explaining current capabilities of adhesion promotion for both students and seasoned researchers. Reviewing the suitable chemistry or morphology for enhanced adhesion to metal, plastic, and wood surfaces, Adhesion Promotion Techniques discusses mechanisms such as viscoelastic energy dissipation, weak boundary layers and interphase, mechanical interlocking, and those based on electrostatic, thermodynamic, diffusion, and chemical bonding theories considers cleaning, ablation, cross-linking, and chemical modification of organic polymers illustrates analytical methods such as the laser microprobe mass analyzer, Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, inverse gas chromatography, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy demonstrates applications of ultraviolet, CO2, and IR lasers investigates uses of energy-saving, ecologically clean anticorrosion microorganisms in treatment of polymer surfaces explores acid-base interactions in adhesion and more Containing over 1000 references and more than 300 helpful graphs, equations, drawings, and photographs, Adhesion Promotion Techniques is required reading for materials scientists; organic, physical, polymer, and surface chemists; chemical engineers; adhesion scientists and adhesive technologists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
