Future work

Research on the performance of adhesively bonded systems will continue in the Measurements for Material Systems programme.
(http://www.npl.co.uk/npl/cmmt/cis/mms0.html) 

The outputs from the Performance of Adhesive Joints projects amount to 60 technical reports and 6 Good Practice Guides together with a number of Measurement Notes that briefly describe test and analysis methods.
