Because of this continued emphasis on adhesive bonding technology development over the years, the airframes of modem front-line aircraft such as the B-2 bomber and the F-117 and F-22 fighters are largely structurally bonded advanced composites. They tend to be comprised of materials that are more advanced (expensive) than commercial aircraft such as carbon and boron fiber reinforcements with cyanate esters, bismaleimides, polyimides or other high-temperature resin matrices and adhesives. 

Limitations in the VOCs emissions wUl certainly push the shoe industry to use alternative bonding technologies to the current solvent-based surface preparations. Several limitations are found in the removal or substitution of solvents in shoe bonding, such as the use of new equipments and machinery, the modification in the procedure to produce bonding, costs increase, and difficulty in bonding some materials without the use of solvents. 

The science behind bonding technology is very extensive. A brief description along with some examples is given in the following text. It is important to prime the surfaces of the layers to be bonded, that is, cover the surfaces with a dilute solution of the adhesive mixed with an organic solvent to obtain a dried film of thickness between 0.0015 and 0.005 mm. 

For these three materials, covalent bonding technologies cannot be used. With silanes, mixed anhydrides are formed lacking in hydrolytic stability. Coating with organic polymers [32] is the way to go. A bonded phase based on zirconia has been studied widely [43]. Method development strategies established with silica-based RP cannot be transferred to an RP bonded on zirconia. Selectivity is dependent, e.g., on the type of buffer used. Anions in the mobile phase influence retention. The kinetics of analyte interaction with the different active sites may lead to reduced efficiencies.

The adhesion is calculated by dividing the maximum force recorded by the sample width in millimeters. With the current bonding technology, the polyurethane will, in most circumstances, break before the sample starts to peel. This is referred to as a stock break (SB). 

Bonding technologies for organic polymers will probably be based on adhesives and other ones that are still being developed.

Adhesives have been used successfully in a variety of applications for centuries. Today, adhesives are more important than ever in our daily lives, and their usefulness is increasing rapidly. In the past few decades there have been significant advances in materials and in bonding technology. People now routinely trust their fortunes and their lives to adhesively bonded structures and rarely think about it. 

With present bonding technology, it is not feasible to produce hydrophilic phases which satisfy all these criteria. The strong interactive adsorption of... 

Before these relationships are discussed adhesion, as a new term, has to be explained. The word is of Latin origin (adhaesio, adhaerere) and means something like to stick to something, to adhere . The term adhesion is very frequently used and belongs to the standard terms in bonding technology.

Cohesion Inner strength of a material. In bonding technology, a term generally referring to the adhesive layer strength. 

Creep Permanent deformation of a bonded joint or a material after mechanical stress. In bonding technology, important for adhesive layers.
