It provided concise and authoritative articles covering many aspects of the science and technology associated with adhesion and adhesives. The articles were structured in such a way, with internal cross-references and external literature references, that the reader could build up a broader and deeper understanding, as the particular need required. Since the first edition went out of print, there has been a continuing demand for the book,andWileyagreedtopublishasecondedition,againundermyeditorship.Theshort article format of the first edition has been retained. Some of the articles are derived from theearliereditionandhavebeenrevisedandupdatedwhereneeded.Therearemanynew articles covering developments that have risen in prominence in the intervening years. An increasing environmental awareness is one of the developments throughout this period: time and again authors draw attention to the environmental impact of adhesive technologies. It is interesting to note that, in the period 1992–2004, sales of adhesives and sealants in the United States has increased by around 5% per annum. Sales in other industrialized countries are likely to be similar. These are the sorts of figures for growth about which business corporations boast in their annual reports. Yet, in the same period, manyindicatorsofenvironmentalwell-beingcontinuedtodeteriorate.Atmosphericcarbon dioxide concentrations increased by 5% and “extreme” weather events became more frequent. In both the United States and Europe, the incidence of asthma doubled. This raises some disconcerting issues. Are our endeavours to reduce organic vapour emissions, to eliminate chromates, and so forth (repeated, mutatis mutandis, throughout industry), really sufficient to prevent an environmental crisis? Perhaps serious questions of sustainability and of limits to growth now have to be faced seriously.

There are a few first edition articles that, for a variety of reasons, the original authors were not able to update. I have revised these myself and indicated this by placing an asterisk (*) after the original authors’ names. D. E. PACKHAM University ofBath August, 2004 Preface to the first edition Thereisa longandvaluable traditionof membersofacademicstaffofuniversities acting as authors and editors of reference works written for the benefit of the general public as a whole or of sections of it with specialized interests. This is one way in which a university repays its debt to the society that sustains it. Thus, when asked by the series editorsifIwouldactaseditorfortheHandbookofAdhesion,Iagreedtodoso.Itwasnot withoutmisgivingsthatIgavemyagreement.Iwassomewhatoverawedattheprospectof commissioning some 200 articles from over 50 authors in industry and higher education and then relating the articles to one another in a single book with consistent style. In practice, the job was lightened by the enormous support given to me by the publishers’ staff, particularly Dr Michael Rogers and Dr Paula Turner, and also by the series editors, Professor David Briggs and Dr Derek Brewis. I would also like to thank the individual authors for their patience with my editorial idiosyncrasies. In anattempt to keepthe style of the book consistent, it has sometimes been necessary to modify articles in a way that individual authors would not have chosen. I must emphasize that the responsibility for the final form of the text, including the errors, is mine. Thisbook,then,representsthefruitsoffiftytosixtyauthorsdrawnfromuniversitiesand industry.

It is ironical that the hard canons of market forces being imposed on universities will mean that collaborative ventures, such as this book, will becomethingsofthepast:theyareboundtofailthemarketcriterionofcosteffectiveness. The changes being urged on universities represent much more than a trimming of the sails to the winds of political change. They represent a determined effort to change their fundamental values radically, or, in the more percussive language used recently by the leaderofapowerfulpressuregroup,“tobreaktheacademicmould”.Ifthishappens,books of this sort will be among the lesser casualties of the breaking of the academic mould. D. E. PACKHAM Introduction Scope of the Handbook The Handbook of Adhesion is intended as a book of reference in the field of adhesion. Adhesion is a phenomenon of interest in diverse scientific disciplines and of importance inawide rangeof technologies.Therefore,the scopeofthis handbookincludesthe back- ground science (physics, chemistry and materials science) and engineering and aspects of adhesion relevant to the use of adhesives, sealants and mastics, paints and coatings, printing and composite materials. Intendedreadership The book will be of value to professional people of many different backgrounds who need to have an understanding of various facets of adhesion. These will include those workinginresearch,developmentordesign,aswellasothersinvolvedwithmarketingor technicalservice.Thefirsteditionprovedtobeavaluableresourceforbothundergraduate and research students. This book is intended as a reference work for all those needing a quick, but authoritative, discussion of topics in the field of adhesion, broadly interpreted. It is intended for scientists and engineers qualified at national certificate or degree level. The aim has been to write it so that a detailed knowledge of individual science and engineering disciplines is not required. Lengthof articles The Handbook has been designed so that it is easy to retrieve the information required, whetherthisisconfinedtoasinglepointoritismoreextensive.Thus,articlesarearranged alphabeticallyandithasbeentheeditorialpolicyforeacharticletobe,asfaraspossible, intelligible onitsown,andtolimit itslengthtoaroundthreepages,whichcanbequickly assimilated.Manyenquirerswillwantmoreextensiveinformationthanasinglearticlecan provide.Forthisreason,thereiscopiouscross-referencingtorelatedarticleselsewherein the Handbook, and a comprehensive index.

Those who need access to original papers should easily find the reference through these secondary sources. The Appendix gives concise guidance on literature and information sources. Broaderstudy As well as providing an answer to a specific query, the Handbook can be used for a broader study of topics in adhesion. For this reason a Classified list of articles is provided (p. xxvii) where articles on related topics are grouped together and arranged in a logical sequence for reading. How to use the Handbook Detailed instructions on use of the Handbook are given inside the front cover. Cross- references are shown by giving titles to articles in bold.
