A review of the use of adhesives for device assembly, focusing on optical radiation curing using UV light. by B. G. Yacobi, Chris Le Conte, Kevin Davis, and Manfred Hubert New equipment, such as the ...

For medical device manufacturers, selecting the right adhesives and developing the correct bonding procedures—including surface preparation, adhesive dispensing, and curing—are critical parameters in ...

Adhesives are made from polymers, plastics, or synthetic resins, which have some inherent restrictions. They are not as strong as metals, however, this is compensated for by the increased surface ...

The Norwegian Navy minesweeper uses Araldite 2015 epoxy adhesive from Huntsman Advanced Materials to bond fiberglass-reinforced polyester panels to metal substrates in the ship's hull and stiffeners.

Elastic bonding is a relatively new fastening technique that complements traditional fastening methods. It joins two materials with a layer of permanently elastic adhesive and offers high peel ...

Adhesive bonding is not a new topic; humans have used adhesives and glues since the beginning of time. The ancient Egyptians used glue to attach veneers to furniture, and prehistoric man is thought to ...

Adhesive bonding represents a critical joining technology for composite materials, offering a lightweight alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners. Recent advancements have focused on ...

Unitized, adhesively bonded composite primary structures on aircraft could offer substantial cost savings by dramatically reducing part and fastener counts, as well as time and labor for airframe ...

A new type of 3D-printed adhesive could change how we join materials together. So far, scientists have developed two new methods that can create extremely strong bonds at the pore level, eliminating ...
