Adhesives can offer substantial economic advantages over more conventional methods of joining. Whilst the building and construction industries represent some of the largest users of adhesive materials, few applications currently involve adhesive joints which are required to sustain large externally-applied forces. However, recent advances in the science and technology of adhesion and adhesives suggest that structural adhesives have enormous potential in future construction applications, particularly where the combination of thick bond lines, ambient temperature curing and the need to unite dissimilar materials with a relatively high strength joint are important. Indeed adhesive bonding, either alone or in combination with other methods of fastening, represents one of the key enabling technologies for the exploitation of new materials and for the development of novel design concepts and structural configurations.
