The job of the adhesive formulator has been made particularly difficult by the lack of practical information on the topic. There are only several forums that provide an introduction to adhesive formulating. One such forum is the Adhesive and Sealant Council, which offers short courses on adhesive formulating. There are also a few books that offer information and guides on adhesive formulations.23-27 Information specific to epoxy adhesives is usually found in a chapter or section within the work. There has been no book devoted solely to epoxy adhesive formulations, although several have focused on the more general topics of epoxy resins and their applications.28,29...

The Adhesive and Sealants Council, Inc., has published data for adhesives and sealants volume and value, summarized in Table 13.7. The data exclude adhesive used in the plywood, particle board, other boards, foundry sand, and carpet backing. The US statistics including 2002 sales of major manufacturers are given in Tables 13.8-13.11. 

Research activity has slowed down in the industry due to technological maturity in the traditional adhesive development. The industry is attempting to revive research by focus on process technology know-how and newer approaches such as nanotechnology. Trade associations, including The Adhesive and Sealant Council, Inc. (ASC), are engaged in leading renewal initiatives. ASC is an excellent source for information and data about the trends in adhesives industry.
