This book offers selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Industrial Applications of Adhesives, held in Cascais, Portugal, March 7-8, 2024. The goal of the conference was to provide a unique opportunity to exchange information, present the latest results as well as to discuss issues relevant to industrial applications of adhesives. Special contributions on formulation of adhesives, pressure sensitive adhesives, adhesive properties, design of adhesive joints, and durability of adhesive joints have been selected for this volume. This work will appeal to a wide readership, from practitioners through graduate students to researchers working in this field.
