Introduction to Adhesives

  • Chapter
Handbook of Adhesives

Abstract

Adhesives are social substances. They unite materials, creating a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. They are small in volume compared to the metals, glass, wood, paper, fibers, rubber, and plastics that they join together; but just as enzymes, hormones, and vitamins are required for individual well-being, the adhesives are recognized as essential to the health of our industrial society.
