The adhesion Institute is a part of The Delft University of Technology. The institute is a specialist in adhesion- and adhesives technology. The department is a part of the faculty of aerospace and aero structures engineering. However, the available knowledge on adhesive bonding is broadened through intensive contacts with many other University departments. Especially through a cooperation with civil-, chemical-, marine- and engineering departments.
Our mission is the promotion of the adhesive bonding technology on structural adhesive bonds, as used in industry, based on the latest developments of the adhesive bonding technology. The Adhesion Institute is involved in a large number of national as well as international cooperative networks such as Craft for small and medium enterprises (SME's). Our institute is open to any questions on, structural adhesive bonds in general, and more specific on: the latest developments on surface pre-treatment of metals and plastics, durability of adhesive bonds, the application of adhesive(s) and adhesive bonds, as well as (FEM)-calculations on structural adhesive bonding technology. Besides this, the institute advises on international rules on environment and safety regulations.
