ADHESIVE BONDING IS BEING INCREASINGLY USED IN PREFERENCE TO MECHANICAL FASTENING IN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES. LEADING THE WAY IN ADHESIVE ACCEPTANCE ARE THE AUTOMOTIVE AND AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES. INCREASED ACCEPTANCE OF ADHESIVES HAS RESULTED FROM ADHESIVE SUPPLIERS RESPONDING TO THE LIMITATIONS OF EARLY ADHESIVES BY PRODUCING NEW RAPID CURING AND HIGHER PERFORMANCE MATERIALS. THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE OF SOME OF THE MAJOR NEW ADHESIVE TYPES. SPECIFICALLY, IT REVIEWS NEW EPOXY ADHESIVES, PASTE, HOT MELT AND FILM FORM. ADDITIONALLY, IT REVIEWS NEW PRIMERLESS POLYURETHANE ADHESIVES AND A NEW EXCITING CLASS OF ADHESIVES, I.E. RADIATION CURING ADHESIVES.
