Surface Treatment in Bonding Technology provides valuable advice on surface treatment methods, modern measuring devices, and the appropriate experimentation techniques that are essential to create strong joints with a reliable service life. The book's focus is on the detailed and up-to-date analysis of surface treatment methods for metallic and polymer substrates. An analysis of factors affecting the surface preparation stage, together with advice on selection, is also provided. Essential theory is combined with experimentation techniques and industry practice to provide a guide that is both practical and academically rigorous.

Including a general introduction to bonding, as well as coverage of mechanical, chemical and electrochemical methods, this book is the ideal primer for anyone working with or researching adhesive bonding.

Provides detailed descriptions of surface treatments and their mechanisms that will help readers build a deep understanding of these fundamental techniques
Includes a thorough survey of recent advances in research in surface treatments of metals and polymers
Provides technical advice on experimental testing methods throughout the book

About the Author

Anna Rudawska is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Lublin University of Technology, where she is also head of Technological Processes, and Systems Design Chair.

Her research is focused on the influence of technological and structural factors on joint strength in polymers and metals, design of bonding technology, adhesives, surface treatment methods and the adhesive strength of adhesive joints. Her research includes both experimental studies and numerical analysis using finite element method, and non-destructive testing methods to analyze the correctness of adhesive joints.

She has written 220 articles in scholarly journals, several monographs and book chapters, and holds patents and patent applications in adhesive and bonding technology.

Store Description

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
