This set of two volumes describes adhesion science from three fundamental perspectives: mechanics, surfaces and chemistry. This volume deals with the other two disciplines that make up adhesion science, surfaces and chemistry, and describes several applications of adhesion science and engineering. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of engineering and to those with an interest in adhesion science.

The intention of the book is to provide view of the state of the art of adhesion science and to fill in the rather large gap in the compilation of knowledge related to adhesion science.
The book shows that adhesion science and technology is inherently an interdisciplinary field, requiring fundamental understanding of mechanics, surfaces, and materials.
