Overview

This work comprises the proceedings of the Symposium of Acid-Base Interactions: Relevance to Adhesion Science and Technology held on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Professor Frederick M. Fowkes as a part of the 64th Colloid and Surface Science Symposium held at Lehigh University, June 18-20 1990. It contains 22 papers which are divided into three sections. Topics covered include: acid-base concepts - historical account, current status and prospects for the future; quantum-mechanical approach to understanding acid-base interactions at metal-polymer interfaces; assessment of acid-base interactions at solid-liquid interfaces; quantitative characterization of the acid-base properties of solvents, polymers and inorganic surfaces; acid-base characteristics of a variety of solid materials; acid-base interactions in wetting; and applications of acid-base interactions in a variety of situations, eg in the adhesion of polymers to metallic and ceramic substrates, mechanical properties of wood, properties of filled polymers and behaviour of fibre-reinforced polymer composites. This work should be of interest to researchers engaged in unravelling acid-base interactions and how these can be utilized in understanding and tailoring adhesion.
