Dear colleague,
I would like to inform you about the 8th International Conference on Structural Adhesive Bonding 2025 which will take place in Porto, Portugal, 10-11 July 2025 (Link: https://fe.up.pt/abconference/2025/). The conference venue is the campus of Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), which offers excellent facilities for high quality scientific interactions. FEUP is located in the town of Porto in the Northern region of Portugal. Porto is a beautiful and lively city, steeped in history and rich in great experiences. With its magnificent location by the Atlantic coast, Porto is the city of the world famous Port Wine and the River Douro. The conference will operate in a mixed format, where presentations can be held physically but also remotely, using a video-conferencing system.
The conference is chaired by me and co-chaired by R. D. Adams (University of Oxford, UK). The focus is on structural bonding but all relevant areas of bonding are welcome: Fundamental aspects of adhesion; the science and technology of surfaces; advances in adhesive materials; mechanical properties of bonded joints; innovative designs and applications; testing and standardization; industrial aspects; quality procedures; environmental and ecological aspects.
The scientific committee includes Agustín Chiminelli (ITAINNOVA, Spain), Alberto Sastre (SIKA, Spain), Alessandro Pirondi (Università degli Studi di Parma, Italy), Alireza Akhavan (INEGI, Portugal), Andrea Bernasconi (Politecnico di Milano, Italy), Andreas Lutz (Dupont, Switzerland), Antonio Pizzi (University of Lorraine, France), Chiaki Sato (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan), Davide Castagnetti (Università degli studi di Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy), Eduardo Marques (INEGI, Portugal), Elisabeth Stammen (TU Braunschweig, Germany), Eugenio Dragoni (Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy), Fabrizio Moroni (Università degli Studi di Parma, Italy), Fernão D.
