Features: With the development of the economy and science, adhesives are indispensable in industry, agriculture, transportation, healthcare, national defense, and people's daily lives. Virtually everyone and everything involves adhesives. China's adhesive industry began in the late 1950s and has experienced rapid growth since the 1990s, making adhesives an important category of fine chemical products. In 2000, production reached over 2 million tons, with a total output value of over 10 billion yuan. It is estimated that China's synthetic adhesive consumption will reach 2.65 million tons by 2005, with an average annual growth rate of 8%. Currently, books on adhesives on the market are primarily comprehensive, which may not be very suitable for readers engaged in specialized adhesive research and production. Therefore, to meet the needs of a broad readership in the adhesive industry, our publishing house, after extensive research and analysis, has organized experts to compile the "Practical Adhesive Preparation and Application Series," which includes the following nine volumes: Fundamentals and Formulation Design of Adhesives, Adhesive Selection and Bonding Technology, Construction Adhesives, Wood Adhesives, Sealant Adhesives, Adhesives for Footwear and Clothing, Water-Based Adhesives, Hot Melt Adhesives, Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives, and Specialty Adhesives.
