...W.(Voytek) S. Gutowski; Gary Toikka; Sheng Li High-quality and durable adhesion of elastomeric adhesives to metallic, ceramic, and organic substrates is essential to a broad range of industries, e.g., building and construction, automotive, electronic, aerospace, biomedical, and others...

...P. Vandereecken; I. Maton Beyond their application as sealants, silicone formulations are used as adhesives in insulated glass and structural glazing applications. The adhesion durability of such assemblies is a function of both the adhesion at the glass-interface surfaces and the internal cohesion...

... the thermophysical or adhesion properties of the FRM, beyond indicating that they are sufficient to achieve the measured rating. As part of the Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) Structural Performance Under Multi-hazards program, a materials science-based approach is being applied to develop new...

... procedures. Continued eld use, research, and development are essential in the quest for a near perfect building seal. KEYWORDS: sealant, adhesion, nondestructive, testing device, eld testing, toxic mold, ASTM Standard C 1521 Introduction The following discussion is directed toward barrier wall construction...

... with no or minimum reformulation. KEYWORDS: sealant, additive, adhesion, modulus, elongation, movement, durability Introduction Most sealants are not used as structural adhesives. The majority of sealants are intended to ll holes and joints and move when the joint moves and adhere the whole time. Sealants...

...NV Gitis; J Xiao; M Vinogradov Adhesion of coatings from 1 nm to 0.1 mm was successfully evaluated with multi-sensing technology, based on simultaneous high-resolution force, electrical, and acoustic measurements. Sharp changes in the signals were indicative of the thresholds of adhesion...

...CT Scott; R Hernandez; C Frihart; R Gleisner; T Tice A new method for quantifying percentage wood failure of an adhesively bonded block-shear specimen has been developed. This method incorporates a laser displacement gage with an automated two-axis positioning system that functions as a highly...

...S-C Huang; TF Turner; AT Pauli; FP Miknis; JF Branthaver; RE Robertson Asphalt is a widely variable product used in public roadways at the rate of 30 million tons per year and is thus the largest volume of adhesive used in any application. Considering the commercial importance of asphalt, several...

...AT Wolf; CS McMillan; W Stiell; K Lieb The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of float glass surface composition on silicone sealant adhesion in a wet environment. Float glass samples obtained from six different European glass manufacturers were characterized analytically (XPS...
