Abstract

Successful adhesive technology relies on the diligent engineering of adhesive and cohesive forces. Polymers thereby play the dominant role as they largely determine the chemical and physical properties of the adhesive joint. A wide range of polymer systems is available, each having special properties in its own right. The art of adhesive formulation lies in the right choice of the appropriate polymer and its modification to suit the purpose. This article provides several examples of adhesive applications in demanding industry segments.
