Research and Markets ( www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c756df/advances_in_struct : ) has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new report " Advances in Structural Adhesive Bonding : " to their offering.

Adhesive bonding is often regarded as a cost effective and effectual way to join mechanical structures. This important book reviews the most recent improvements in adhesive bonding and its wide-ranging potential

in structural engineering. Part one reviews improvements in the most commonly used groups of adhesives. The second set of chapters discuss the various types of adherends and pre-treatment methods. A third set of chapters analyse methods and techniques for joint design. The final group of chapters gives a useful and practical insight into the problems and solutions of adhesive bonding in a variety of hostile environments such as chemical, wet and extreme temperatures.

Key Topics Covered:

Part 1 Adhesive selection: Key issues in selecting the right adhesive

- Advances in epoxy adhesives
- Advances in polyurethane structural adhesives
- Advances in structural silicone adhesives
- Advances in cyanoacrylate and anaerobic adhesives
- Advances in acrylic structural adhesives
- Advances in nanoparticle reinforcement in structural adhesives.

Part 2 Adherends, surfaces and pre-treatments: Improvements in bonding metals (steel, aluminium)

- Advances in bonding plastics
- Advances in bonding composites.

Part 3 Joint design: Selecting the right joint design and fabrication techniques

- Life prediction for bonded joints in composite material based on actual fatigue damage
- Improving adhesive joint design using fracture mechanics
- Developments in testing adhesive joints
- Advances in testing adhesively-bonded composites

Part 4 Environmental effects and durability of adhesives: Designing adhesive joints for fatigue and creep load conditions

- Improving bonding in high and low temperatures
- Assessing and improving bonding in wet conditions
- Improving bonding in hostile chemical environments.
