Recent Developments in Adhesive and Sealant Chemistry

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 29))

Abstract

In this paper, we briefly review recent developments in adhesive and sealant chemistry. The subjects discussed are the: chemistry of adhesion, physics of adhesion, radiation-curable adhesives, high-temperature adhesives, anaerobic and structural adhesives, hot-melt adhesives, film adhesives, waterborne adhesives, aerospace structural adhesives, conventional sealants, advanced aerospace sealants, and adhesives and sealants for solar collectors.

This review emphasizes new materials for adhesives and sealants. Thus, we discuss both new adhesives and new forms of adhesives. As a result of socio-economical demands, energy-reduction and pollution-control are two main reasons for the development of radiation-curable, hot-melt, film, and waterborne adhesives. We shall examine some of these new forms of adhesives in detail. The applications of new adhesive materials to aerospace and solar-energy industries will also be briefly mentioned.
