The Adhesion Science & Technology Short Course will be held February 7-8, 2026 PRIOR to the Annual Meeting. This course provides an introduction and overview to a variety of critically important topics in the field of adhesion. Highlighting the significant contributions that surfaces, adhesive chemistry, polymer behavior, and mechanics make to measured adhesion, the course provides strategic insights for bonding success ranging from structural to soft matter adhesion. Participants have gone away with a deeper knowledge that includes practical concepts for understanding and improving adhesion. The course is traditionally offered in conjunction with Adhesion Society's Annual Meeting, taking advantage of an outstanding group of instructors that would not otherwise be available in a single course. Each topic is presented by a scientist who is a world leader in that area. This gives the attendees the opportunity to learn from and interact with scientists whose expertise provides a unique view into the history, science, and relevance of their topic. We are continuing this tradition for an in-person event held the week prior to the Annual Meeting, and encourage you to consider attending for a great overview of key adhesion concepts. The course will include 12 lecture hours with ample Q&A spread over 1.5 short days.
