Sommario/riassunto

This important collection reviews key research on adhesive behaviour and applications in sectors as diverse as construction and automotive engineering. The book is divided into three main parts: fundamentals, mechanical properties and applications. Part 1 focuses on the basic properties of adhesives, surface assessment and treatment. Part 2 concentrates on understanding how adhesives perform under stress and the factors affecting fatigue and failure. The final part of the book reviews industry specific applications in areas such as building and



construction, transport and electrical engineerin
