The course gives participants an understanding of the technical aspects and importance of their work procedures and therefore allows them to carry out bonding work independently and effectively. 

The adhesive engineer will obtain key competences and responsibilities for all adhesive bonding processes. From progressive product development, selection of corresponding adhesive and production planning to bond construction and quality assurance.

The course provides a fundamental understanding of the materials science, bonding properties of substrates, curing mechanisms and processing properties, surface treatment, connection technology, quality management, test methods and aging.

On completion of training, the trainees are in a position to monitor adhesive bonding in production, design joints which are suitable for adhesive bonding, select a suitable, certified adhesive and systematically detect faults in the process.

After the completion of this course, the participants will be able to give instructions to implementers of adhesive joints, prepare work instructions, contribute to quality assurance of the bonding process, provide planning, organisation and control of adhesive work, recognise deviations and know how to deal with them and, monitor and change process parameters of the bonding process.

This course allows former participants of international EAS and EAE courses to refresh their knowledge of adhesive bonding and learn about the latest developments.

At the end of this training, trainees will be able to understand the multitude of adhesion and adhesives related processes, theories, benefits, limitations and restrictions, propose surface treatments and recognise relevant health and safety hazards.

The aim of the project is to study aspects related to the adhesion and performance of polyurethane/polymer film bonds.
