Structural adhesives, also known as load-bearing adhesives, are substances that harden and fasten two similar or dissimilar substrate elements with high-modulus, high-strength, and permanent bonds. These adhesives are capable of withstanding forces and holding the bonded surfaces efficiently, even under shock, vibration, temperature, and chemical changes. Common substrate materials include metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, and rubbers, among others.
