Abstract:
Glues are substances used for joining surfaces by means
of elastic film which firmly clings to the glued surfaces and is
not broken off under the impact of shear stress. Glueing has long
been an important way of joining wood, leather, ceramics,
textiles, paper and rubber. The theory of glueing process is
highly complex, because a number of factors are involved
relating to the nature of the glued surfaces and the
characteristics of the glue solution and adhesive film.
