Elsevier Surface Treatment of Materials for Adhesive Bonding Book

This comprehensive guide by William Andrew is essential reading for engineers and materials scientists seeking to master surface preparation for adhesive bonding across plastics, thermosets, elastomers, ceramics and metals. The book bridges theoretical surface science with practical treatment technologies, enabling professionals to refine existing preparation processes and achieve superior adhesion performance. By applying the techniques and principles outlined, practitioners can extend product lifespan and reduce failure rates in bonded assemblies. The content emphasises hands-on solutions rather than abstract concepts, making it invaluable for anyone responsible for improving adhesive joint quality in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive or industrial applications.
