Abstract
In the modern industrial environment, adhesive bonding, as a joining process, is indispensable as a response to the changing requirements of material science (new materials), society (sustainability and health protection) and business (competitiveness in a globalized world). For industrial processes, an "off the peg" adhesive will hardly ever be satisfactory. Special production circumstances and customer-specific material combinations often require tailored customized solutions. It is and will remain stimulating to monitor how the adhesive industry meets these requirements with innovative raw materials and formulations.
