Polymer coatings and adhesive joints are widely used in technical products. Their design and implementation afford a deeper understanding of surface chemistry. This module foresees the transmission of fundamentals of adhesives, surface properties and modification techniques with the purpose of providing students with enough knowledge for the design of adhesive joints.

1. Classification of adhesive bonding as join technology - advantages and disadvantages of adhesive bonding
2. Application of adhesive bonding
3. Surface properties of materials and binding strengths - adhesion and cohesion
4. Classification of adhesives
5. Chemistry, physics and applications of everyday and technical adhesives
6. Polymer coatings
7. Surface modification techniques
8. Theoretical desing of adhesive bonding

Knowledge Broadening
Students, who have successfully completed the modul, are familiar with the most important adhesive systems, surface pretreatment strategies and testing methods.

Knowledge Deepening
Students, who have successfully completed the modul, have a deep understanding of surface processes involved during adhesive bonding.
Instrumental Skills and Competences
Students, who have successfully completed the modul, are able to implement an adhesive bonding mechanism within a fabrication process.
Communicative Skills and Competences
Students, who have successfully completed the modul, are able to discuss actual research and developments within the field of adhesive joints in english oral and written form.
Systemic Skills and Competences
Students, who have successfully completed the modul, can take decisions on the design and implementation of adhesive joints competently. Furthermore they are able to critically evaluate adhesive joints and bonding processes.
