With this training, the attendees will get an understanding of the different relationships of adhesive technology compared to conventional joining techniques and thus they will be able to avoid errors in production.

This course aims to provide its trainees with the knowledge and the decision-making tools to face new challenges arising from current market demands, while remaining oriented towards a circular economy and keeping aware of environmental needs. The course is also applicable to consultants.

Etre capable de sélectionner un adhésif et un traitement de surface en fonction d’un cahier des charges et maîtriser la mise en œuvre des collages en fonction des assemblages par collage. 

Connaître les moyens de caractérisation des matériaux plastiques, composites et assemblages collés. Connaître notamment les différents essais mécaniques pouvant être réalisés. Savoir interpréter les résultats des essais.

Comprendre et appliquer les gammes et méthodes spécifiques de collage. Réaliser une opération dans les règles de l’art. Appliquer un procédé imposé. Garantir la qualité des assemblagesréalisés. Appliquer les règles fondamentales d’H&S.

The research on this subject is driven through a material-by-design approach relying on the formulation of a set of requirements in terms of performances and constraints, based on which the best material solution is sought. 

The aim of the seminar is to familiarise the participants with the design principles for bonded structural joints, current trends and application technologies in the field of composite materials and structural parts.

Fundamentals of adhesive bonding technology; Bonding properties of the substrate materials; Adhesives, bonding mechanisms, and application properties; Analysis of adhesives and surfaces; Adhesion; Surface treatment; Manufacturing technology; Joining techniques; Design of bonded joints; Quality management, test methods, and ageing; Health & safety at work and environmental protection.

The course qualifies practical users of adhesive technology to create bonds independently and professionally.
