Adhesion 9 e-bog

The use of adhesives continues to increase both in importance and in areas of use, particularly in engineering construction. Alongside this is a steady growth in our fundamental understanding of the factors involved. Both of these topics are reflected in various meetings and nowhere more consistently than at the Annual Conference on Adhesion and Adhesives at The City University each Easter. 1984 was the twenty-second of these when, once again, people carne from far and near to present accounts of their work and to discuss them in all their variety. This publication makes the papers available to the wider audience who were not able to attend in person. In presenting this volume, may I express sincere gratitude, both personally and on behalf of the University, to all those who contributed in so many and various ways to the conference. K. W.
