The use of adhesives in medical applications was for a long time restricted to the manufacture of self-adhesive bandages (plasters, self-adhesive strips of fabric, etc.) (Figure 1). The first pressure sensitive adhesives used for this were based on... (3 Member Reactions)

An extremely high proportion of all industrial products are sold in packaging - either due to stability requirements for storage and transport or for aesthetic reasons. Although normal envelopes and paper bags consist of just a single layer of...

From the very outset, the rapid developments in the area of electronics have involved ever smaller components and ever greater circuit complexity. The continuing miniaturisation has not only resulted in smaller components but also components that are...

For several decades now, bonding has been one of the most important joining techniques in aircraft manufacture. The specific reasons for this include the fact that bonds have lifetimes of up to 30 years, high resistance to dynamic loads and media and... (1 Member Reaction)

The panes of glass are fitted after painting and lacquering the car bodywork. In days gone by, the front and rear windscreens were fitted into the bodywork using a profile made of an elastomer that surrounded the glass. A cord-like tacky elastomer... (3 Member Reactions)

Car bodies largely comprise steel sheets having a thickness of 0.6 to 0.8 mm. The trend in modern car bodies is towards a flatter design with as little wind resistance as possible, low weight and hence ultimately reduced fuel consumption. Flat...

In woodwork, and in particular in the furnituremaking industry, polyvinyl acetate dispersion adhesives have long superseded the carpentry adhesives based on animal proteins that were used thousand of years ago. Condensation resins (urea, melamine,... (1 Member Reaction)

As you scan the skyline of today's cities, the effects of a little known hero are everywhere. Modern buildings with huge expanses of glass reflect the blue sky and clouds above while offering a sense of openness in a once oppressive concrete jungle.... (1 Member Reaction)

An electrical equipment manufacturer selected a two-component heat cure epoxy to join metal and ceramic substrates in a heat sink bonding application. * Adhesives can cost-effectively join two different types of substrates, resulting in greater...
