| Review: | This book provides a summary of state-of-the-art adhesion promotion techniques for different materials for many manufacturing processes. It reviews suitable chemistry or morphology for enhanced adhesion to metal, plastic and wood surfaces. The twelve chapters cover topics such as: mechanisms of viscoelastic energy dissipation, weak boundary layers and interphase, mechanical locking, and those based on electrostatic, thermodynamic, diffusion and chemical bonding theories; the cleaning, ablation, cross-linking and chemical modification of organic polymers; analytical methods such as the laser microprobe mass analyser, Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence, inverse gas chromatography, x-ray photon electrospectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy; applications of UV, CO2 and IR lasers; use of energy-saving, ecologically clean anticorrosion micro-organisms in the treatment of polymer surfaces; and acid-base interactions in adhesion. |
