ADHESIVES

Adhesive, also known as glue, cement, mucilage, or paste, is any non-metallic substance applied to one or both surfaces of two separate items that binds them together and resists their separation. The adhesives and sealants are mainly used to bond the following substrates: metals, plastics (thermosets and thermoplastics), composites, foams, elastomers, wood and wood products, glass and ceramics and sandwich and honeycomb structures [1, 2, 3, 5, 6]
