Summary
This course covers the details of various phenomena related to adhesion, the different classifications of adhesives and the preparation of materials for glue optimisation. Firstly, adhesion mechanisms (chemical, physical, electrical, etc.) are presented with details on phenomena at the adhesive-substrate interfaces (surface chemistry). The various industrial processes for preparing substrates (plasma, washing, etc.) on polymer and metal materials are presented. Polymers used in the different classes of glues and their reactivity are explained in detail (chemistry of glues). Glues will be classified according to their hardening process, shape or chemical composition.
Educational goals
The aim of the course is to provide students with theoretical knowledge for solving glue-related issues in various industrial fields, including the biomedical sector: which glue should be chosen based on the substrate to be glued and depending on the assembly's use conditions? Which preparation should be applied to the substrate beforehand?
Sustainable development goals
Knowledge control procedures
Final Exam
Comments: Written test (30 minutes), course questions and exercise for simulating a glue-related issue.
