title: A practical guide to adhesive bonding.
abstract: Choosing the best adhesive method can be an exacting design task. This is especially true when joining dissimilar materials and when bonding certain plastics. All too often the adhesive is not fully considered at the design stage, which leads to problems during production. This guide discusses the key elements of the bonding process and provides advice when things do not go right.
