ADHESION and ADHESIVES An Audio Course Produced by the American Chemical Society If you're brand new to the field of adhesion science or, if you're already using a facet of adhesion science in your work—here's a unique opportunity for you! With this comprehensive course, you'll develop an overall understanding of the fundamentals of surface science, polymer science, and mechanics—and the role each plays in the successful design of adhesive bonds. Also • understand adhesion theories and how they relate to the practical aspects of adhesive science • study the chemical and physical properties of adhesives • become familiar with the physical properties of polymers as applied to adhesion science • learn about various bonding theories and preparations Here's just a brief outline of the many important subjects you'll cover in this practical, comprehensive course: • Definitions and History of Adhesion and Adhesives • Adhesive Bonding Theories: Diffusion; Electrostatic; Wettability/Adsorption • Basic Polymer Chemistry and Physics: Basic Polymer Physical Properties; Phase Transitions; Fracture Me chanics • Mechanical Tests of Adhesives and Adhesive Bonds: Tensile, Shear, Peel, and Sonic Tests • Chemistry and Physical Properties of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives: Types of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives; Peel Adhesion; Creep • Chemistry and Physical Properties of Structural Adhesives: Phenolic-Based, Epoxy-Based, and Urethane-Based, Structural Adhesives • Hot Melt Adhesives: Physical Properties; Poly amideBased Hot Melt Adhesives • Polymer-Polymer Bonding: Basic Concepts; Surface Preparation; Diffusion Theory • Wood Bonding: Structure and Chemistry of Wood; Natural Products Adhesives; Synthetic Wood Adhesives • Durability of Structural Adhesive Bonds: Durability of Stressed and Unstressed Lap Joints; Water in Bondlines About the Instructors Alphonsus V.
