Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) create bonds under low pressure, making them ideal for a variety of applications. Nanomechanical testing of PSAs is critical for understanding their viscoelastic ...

In my three preceding columns, I discussed the testing of sandwich panels as unit structures. This included flexural and shear testing of beams and panels. However, such tests — and hardware ...

If you’ve recently visited the construction adhesive aisle at a home center, you may have noticed that there are A LOT of different adhesives on the shelves. And with that many choices, choosing the ...

This dual experimental-numerical approach provides a rare, holistic view of bonded joint performance under ballistic loading, ...

Photosensitive polymer films are commonly utilized as a dielectric layer in microelectronics packaging. The performance of the organic film is determined by the adhesion quality between the polymer ...
