Adhesives in Engineering

Adhesives have been used for many years in aircraft structures and are increasingly being used in many other sectors including automotive, medical and electrical. For bonded products and structures, a high level of confidence that joint integrity will be maintained during the service life is needed at the design and development stage. To address this need, MERL provides a complete range of research services for performance verification of adhesives:

• Material property measurement
• Engineering design analysis
• Joint and structural testing
