It is intended to fill a gap between the necessarily simplified treatment of the student textbook and the full and thorough treatment of the research monograph and review article. The articles are structured in such a way, with internal cross-referencing and external literature references, that the reader can build up a broader and deeper understanding, as their needs require.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis \u003ci\u003esecond edition\u003c\/i\u003e includes many new articles covering developments which have risen in prominence in the intervening years, such as scanning probe techniques, the surface forces apparatus and the relation between adhesion and fractal surfaces. Advances in understanding polymer - polymer interdiffusion are reflected in articles drawing out the implications for adhesive bonding. In addition, articles derived from the earlier edition have been revised and updated where needed. Throughout the book there is a renewed emphasis on environmental implications of the use of adhesives and sealants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe scope of the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e, which features nearly 250 articles from over 60 authors, includes the background science - physics, chemistry and material science - and engineering, and also aspects of adhesion relevant to the use of adhesives, including topics such as:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSealants and mastics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePaints and coatings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrinting and composite materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWelding and autohesion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngineering design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Adhesion\u003c\/i\u003e is intended for scientists and engineers in both academia and industry, requiring an understanding of the various facets of adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eDavid Packham, Quondam Senior lecturer in Materials Science, University of Bath\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemistry.
