Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Adhesion focuses on the study of interfacial phenomena, including molecular interactions, surface forces, and the mechanical properties of adhesives and interfaces. Research covers the characterization of adhesion through various measurement techniques and the modification of surfaces to improve bonding. Topics include protein adhesives, polymer interfaces, structural adhesives, composite materials, and the behavior of carbon fibers and other materials at interfaces.
