Welcome to the Society for Adhesion and Adhesives

The SAA operates under its own constitution and is active in promoting the advancement of the science and technology of adhesion and adhesives. We strive to accomplish our goals by disseminating technical knowledge via a range of seminars, conferences and publications. This includes the proceedings of such meetings, which appear on this website under 'Past Events/Past SAA Event Reports'. In addition, the SAA actively acknowledges individual achievement in the field via the award of medals, and prizes. We also promote co-operation with and between learned Societies which see adhesion and adhesives as an enabling technology. More about us

Investigation of the epoxy-metal-interphase by micro-extensometry

The polymer interphase in adhesively bonded metal joints plays an important role concerning the mechanical behaviour and durability under service conditions. Recent investigations have been able to identify a polymer interphase region adjacent to the metal surface with a thickness of up to 100μm where cross linking density and glass transition temperatures differ significantly from those of the bulk polymer due to the long-range influence of the adhesive interactions in the contact zone to the metal surface.

In a joint research project the mechanical behaviour of the interphase region has been investigated by microextensometry using scanning electron microscopy as an imaging device and computational image analysis.
