Course Overview

Bonding is an important process used in all fields of industry, where
the tight joining of two materials is required. It includes a wide
variety of processing technologies that can be placed in a framework
of chemistry, physics, and materials science.

Understanding why adhesives stick, choosing the right adhesives and
making them work better in your design is a complex field that
involves science, engineering and design.
