Structural Adhesive Joints in Engineering

A guide to adhesive joints within structures, especially those capable of bearing high loads. Coverage includes the physical properties and cure-chemistry of structural adhesives and how to select adhesives for particular applications, surface preparation by physical or chemical methods (with or without the use of primers and coupling agents) and new sections on surface analysis and water durability. There is also a detailed guide to stresses in adhesive joints and joint design and a review of standard test methods.
