This new Springer publication, part of its series of highly respected Major Reference Works, will be the definitive reference in the field of adhesion. Adhesives have been used for thousands of years, though the last century has seenthe development of a vast array of synthetic ones in addition to those naturally occurring. It is difficult to imagine a product—in the home, in industry, in transportation, or anywhere else for that matter—that does not use adhesives or sealants in some way. The subject is of interest to diverse scientific disciplines and important in a wide range of technologies, so this handbook covers the background science (physics, chemistry and materials science), the engineering aspects, and industry-specific applications. It is arranged in a user-friendly format and sub-divided into ten distinct sections, each of which contains several chapters written by internationally renowned authors who are authorities in their fields. The sections cover the entire range of adhesion-related subjects, including the theory of adhesion, surface treatments, adhesive and sealant materials, testing of adhesive properties, joint design, durability,manufacture,
