SHORT COURSE ON APPLIED ADHESION MEASUREMENT METHODS, November 12, 2009 Associated with its symposia MST gives a short course on adhesion measurement methods. Since nearly all of the MST symposia have some relation to adhesion phenomena, the ability to quantify the adhesion of one material layer to another is clearly one of the unifying themes. This course is designed to mesh with the topical symposia by presenting an overview of the most useful adhesion measurement techniques which are being used to evaluate the PRACTICAL ADHESION of coatings. Emphasis will be given to methods which can be carried out in a manufacturing environment as well as in the lab and which give results that are directly relevant to the durability and performance of the coatings. The effects of material elastic properties and residual stress are considered as well as other external influences which affect coating adhesion.

Audience: Scientists and professional staff in R&D, manufacturing, processing, quality control/reliability involved with adhesion aspects of coatings and adhesion sensitive applications.

Level: Beginner- Intermediate introduction/overview

Prerequisites: Elementary background In chemistry, physics or materials science.

Duration: 1 day

How You Will Benefit From This Course:

Understand advantages and disadvantages of a range of adhesion measurement techniques.

Gain insight into mechanics of adhesion testing and the role of intrinsic stress and material properties.

Learn optimal methods for setting adhesion strength requirements for coating applications.

Learn how to select the best measurement technique for a given application. Gain perspective from detailed discussion of actual case studies of product manufacturing and development problems.
