One Line DescriptionA solid collection of interdisciplinary review articles on the latest developments in adhesion science and adhesives technology
Audience
This book will be valuable and useful to materials science, nanotechnology, physics, surface and colloid chemistry researchers and technologists in multiple disciplines in academia, industry, and various research institutes.
DescriptionWith voluminous research being published, it is difficult, if not impossible, to stay abreast of current developments in adhesion and adhesives. So the review articles consolidating the information provided is this book is an alternative way to follow the latest research activity and developments in this important subject area.
This book is based on the 13 review articles written by subject experts and published in 2014 in the Journal Reviews of Adhesion and Adhesives. The rationale for publication of this book is that currently RAA has limited circulation, so this book provides broad exposure and dissemination of the concise, critical, illuminating, and thought-provoking review articles.
The subjects of the reviews fall into 4 general areas:
1. Polymer surface modification
2. Biomedical, pharmaceutical and dental fields
3. Adhesives and adhesive joints
4. General Adhesion Aspects
The topics covered include: Adhesion of condensed bodies at microscale; imparting adhesion property to silicone material; functionally graded adhesively bonded joints; synthetic adhesives for wood panels; adhesion theories in wood adhesive bonding; adhesion and surface issues in biocomposites and bionanocomposites; adhesion phenomena in pharmaceutical products and applications of AFM; cyanoacrylate adhesives in surgical applications; ways to generate monosort functionalized polyolefin surfaces; nano-enhanced adhesives; bonding dissimilar materials in dentistry; flame treatment of polymeric materials—relevance to adhesion; and mucoadhesive polymers for enhancing retention of ocular drug delivery.
