This book focusses on structural bonding, including many facets, like fundamental aspects of adhesion, science and technology of surfaces, adhesive materials, mechanical properties of bonded joints, innovative designs and applications, testing and standardization, industrial aspects, quality procedures, environmental and ecological aspects. This first volume of the new series gathers selected contributions of the 6th international conference on structural adhesive bonding AB 2021, held in Porto, Portugal, 8-9 July 2021, represents the latest trends and serves as a reference volume for researchers and graduate students working in this field.
