...Melur K. Ramasubramanian; Zhaohui Sun; Guang Chen The manufacture of low density paper such as tissue and towel utilizes the creping process that consists of adhesively bonding the paper in wet state onto the surface of a smooth drying cylinder and scraping it off with a blade once dried...

...Yuhong Liu; Shuxin Wang; Lianhong Zhang; Rui Zhou; Weijing Liu; P. C. Wang The performance of adhesive bonded subassemblies and vehicle structures strongly depends on not only the properties of the adherends and adhesives but also the gap between the workpieces. An excessive gap between the joined...

... hardens. Finally, it is tested ( 7 8 ). Typically, the adhesive thickness needs to be limited to within 0.1 mm . So it is important to precisely control the adhesive thickness during production. adhesive bonding coatings solar cell arrays aerospace industry electrical products...

...Edward C. De Meter, Professor, Light Activated Adhesive Gripper (LAAG) workholding technology is a means by which a workpiece is held by adhesive joints that can be instantaneously cured or destroyed, on demand. A LAAG joint is the adhesive bond between the gripper pin and workpiece. Due...

... of the adhesive suppressed the development of gas bubbles, so that the mean void size and volume fraction were low, and the bonding strength was high. This result indicates that to effectively improve the adhesive bonding strength, both the chemical reaction (degree of cure) and physical response (gas bubble...

... deflection (i.e., shape changes) in a laminated construction, either clamped or bonded, is extremely important to promote widespread acceptance of the PEL method. This paper develops basic analytical structural models for both clamped and adhesively bonded PEL tools, which will allow tooling designers...
