Adhesive research in China

Shortly after my return. Prof. Chang wrote about his plan to offer a course in adhesion at BIAA. "Adhesion" has been considered to be too practical a course for most universities, especially in China. His attempt could be an important beginning for future adhesion research in China. 

It appears that their enthusiasm has set adhesion research in motion throughout China. 

My trip did not bring me to the Northeastern region of China. However, during my visit I was told that much adhesive research and development was carried out at this Institute in Harbin. Actually, the Journal of Adhesion and Chemistry (in Chinese) has been published by this Institute since September, 1982. Later, through correspondence with Mr. Wang Zhi-Lu (15), Deputy director of the Institute, I became acquainted with their research activities.

Fasi Liang graduated from Sun Yatson University, China, in 1965 as a specialist in Polymer Science. He is a member of the staff of the Shanghai Rubber Research Institute in the People s Republic of China. He spent two years, 1981-1983, at the Institute of Polymer Science, the University of Akron, as a Visiting Scientist, conducting research on fundamental aspects of adhesion. 

These so-called reactive adhesives comprise only about 5-7% of the total global volume of adhesives. However, they contribute much more than this in sales value, and are the highest value-added and profitable systems in the entire adhesives value-chain. Recent market research studies on the demand for these adhesives in the USA, Europe and China are available [2, 3].
