Adhesion refers to a complicated set of interconnected phenomena that is not easy to understand, and by means several semi-empirical tests try to be predicted the strength of an isolated adhesive joint or the strength of a more complex structure, such a laminate, of a fiberreinforcer of particle-filled composite [2]. Adhesives are classified according with common characteristics to facilitate their understanding and use, although no one classification is universally recognized. Classifications include source, function, chemical composition, physical form and application. Within the most used adhesive are natural or synthetic rubber-based materials, usually due its good properties. Based solvent technology in adhesive is one of the most used for wood industry, mainly Polychloroprene, which has high temperature resistance and good paste strength. However, for halogenated compounds generated and for marketing strategy, this material is intended to be replaced by Styrene-Butadiene rubber (SBR) and Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) copolymers, and Styrene-butadiene-Ethylene-Styrene (SEBS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
