Preface
Adhesiveshavebeenusedforthousandsofyears,butuntil100yearsago,thevastmajoritywas
fromnaturalproductssuchasbones,skins,fish,milk,andplants.Sinceabout1900,adhesives
basedonsyntheticpolymershavebeenintroduced,andtoday,therearemanyindustrialusesof
adhesivesandsealants.Itisdifficulttoimagineaproduct—inthehome,inindustry,intranspor-
tation,oranywhereelseforthatmatter—thatdoesnotuseadhesivesorsealantsinsomemanner.
Adhesiontechnologyisnowadaysacommonapproachtomanyjoiningsituations.There
aremanybooksandseveralinternationaljournalsdealingwiththissubject.However,whenthe
end-user needs to apply this technology, he does not have the time or the resources to
thoroughlystudythevarioustechnologiesrelatedtoadhesivesandsealants.Itisnotpractical
togothroughvolumesoftextandproductinformationlookingforthespecificmethodsor
processes to apply. However, such information should be close-by if the need arises. The
HandbookofAdhesionTechnology isintendedtofillagapbetweenthenecessarily simplified
treatment of the student textbook and the full and thorough treatment of the research
monograph and review article. The subject is treated very comprehensively and with the

Robert (Bob) Adams got his first degree, in Mechanical
Engineering, from Imperial College, London, in 1962, and
hisPh.D.fromCambridgeUniversityin1967.Hewasawarded
a DSc(Eng) from London University in 1986. Most of his
academiccareer(1967–2005)wasatBristolUniversitywhere
he was made full professor in 1986. He was head of the
DepartmentofMechanicalEngineeringfrom1994–1998and
graduate dean from 1998–2004. In 1991, he was awarded
the Visiting Foreign Franqui Chair and Medal at the Free
UniversityofBrussels(VUB).HeisnowanEmeritusProfessor

publishedabout200papersininternationalrefereedjournals.
In2011,hewasawardedtheR.L.PatrickFellowshipoftheUS
Adhesion Society. He is active in organising conferences and publishing and was a founder
member of EURADH and WCARP, the main European and World series on Adhesion.
He has been Joint Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives
since 1999. His main research area is on adhesively bonded joints and he pioneered the
application of finite element analysis for determining the stresses, strains, and strength of
suchjoints.Inadditiontohisadhesivesresearch,hehasalsoworkedextensivelyonvibration
