In the building sector, various adhesive materials are experiencing an increased usage for sealing of overlaps and joints between most commonly used building materials, around penetrations, pipes and windows for increasing the moisture tightness and the airtightness of buildings.
The development of new structural adhesives improved the use of adhesive bonding in the manufacturing sector to join assemblies, specialty aerospace and automotive industries.
Services are significant for the local economy, and there is a modest manufacturing sector that produces electronic equipment, adhesive products, and beer.
Even though the aeronautical industry was the main driving force of this technique, nowadays, adhesive joints can be used in other sectors such as aerospace, automotive, nautical, construction, electronics, or even in traditional applications such as footwear [1 3].
Hybrid adhesive joining techniques are often used in many industrial sectors to design lightweight structures.
The pre-treatment of aluminium alloys prior to painting or adhesive bonding is an essential technology in many industrial sectors (e.g. aerospace industry).
Due to low manufacturing costs, low stress concentration and ease of maintenance, adhesive joints are most frequently used in numerous industrial sectors such as automobile, shipbuilding, aeronautical, etc., replacing or supplementing traditional joining technologies, such as welding or riveting.
It was found that certain surface treatments, depending on the substrate, are required to obtain an adhesive joint capable of satisfying the minimum required by the shoes sector.
Adhesive bonding is a key joining technology in many industrial sectors including the automotive and aerospace industries, biomedical applications, and microelectronics.
Blocks were then sliced transversely through the middle of the sector to expose the transverse surface of the sector, and then mounted with conductive adhesive on SEM stubs.
