Adhesives; A Base Syllabus on Wood Technology.

Prepared by participants in the 1968 National Defense Education Act Institute on Wood Technology, this syllabus is one of a series of basic outlines designed to aid college level industrial arts instructors in improving and broadening the scope and content of their programs. The guide is divided into three sections, the first of which deals with the types of characteristics of adhesives and includes a discussion of each of the important adhesives. Unit II is concerned with application, clamping, and curing of adhesives, and contains excerpts from articles on glues and adhesives, drawings, and photographs to illustrate the material covered. The third unit is a discussion of adhesive bond tests and the techniques for conducting them. Supplementary materials included are a glossary, a bibliography, and an appendix listing glue and adhesive manufacturers. Related documents are available as VT 007 857, VT 007 859, and VT 007 861.
