Universal Adhesives- Different Curing Methods and Applications

Abstract

The adhesive is a kind of material with good adhesion properties which could join objects by adhesion of surfaces via forces of adhesion and cohesion. There are many kinds of adhesives. This paper mainly classifies them by curing method, from UV curing and heat curing to moisture curing and microwave curing, and describes the corresponding mechanisms. Furthermore, it covers the advantages and disadvantages, application ranges, and related chemical compounds of different curing ways for adhesives. This can broaden our understandings of different ways of adhesive curing. Besides, it could also help us choose the most appropriate curing method according to different requirements in daily life.
