Progress in Adhesion and Adhesives, Volume 7

Keep up-to-date with the latest on adhesion and adhesives from an expert group of worldwide authors. The book series Progress in Adhesion and Adhesives was conceived as an annual publication and the premier volume made its debut in 2015. The series has been well-received as it is unique in providing substantive and curated review chapters on subjects that touch many disciplines. Peer-reviewed and edited by Dr. Mittal, the individual chapter reviews have become a trusted source of quality information. The current book contains eight commissioned chapters and cover topics including stress distribution and design analysis of adhesively bonded tubular composite joints; durability of structural adhesive joints; mechanical surface treatment of adherends for adhesive bonding; surface modification of polymer materials by excimer UV light; corona discharge treatment of materials to enhance adhesion; adhesion activation of aramid fibers; dual-cured hydrogels for bioadhesives and biomedical applications; and non-adhesive SLIPS-like surfaces. Audience This book will be valuable and useful to adhesionists and adhesive technologists, polymer scientists, materials scientists as well as those involved/interested in adhesive bonding, packaging, printing, modification of polymer surfaces, biomedical applications, and non-adhesive and omniphobic surfaces.
