Current State and Progress in Research of Environmentally Aging Behavior of Adhesives

The current state and progress in the research of environmentally aging behavior of adhesives at home and aboard were reviewed. The mechanisms of environmentally aging of the adhesives were briefed. And a prospect was suggested with respect to the development trend of the research on the environmentally aging mechanisms of the adhesives. It was pointed out that in the study of the environmentally aging behavior and mechanisms of the adhesives, the current focuses include the mechanisms of thermal aging, light aging, thermal-oxygen aging, light-oxygen aging, and aging in chemical mediums of polymer materials. And the stabilization of the adhesives in various medi-ums is also currently focused on as well.
