If an adhesive joint is to be strong and permanent its adherend surfaces must be treated at least to remove oil, dirt, and dust. In addition, control of surface roughness, oxide formations, and sometimes adsorbed water is required. Deposition of chromium atoms or TiO 2 is indicated for electron donor metals surfaces, and treatments may be useful to protect the adhesive from the adherend or vice versa, or to make their structures more congenial.
